Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 20313024, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.0 Grams of 5-benzylpicolinic acid were suspended in 25 ml. of ethanol. The resulting suspension was saturated with hydrogen chloride gas under ice-cooling. After reflux for three hours, the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. Ether was added thereto to form crystals. The crystals were then recrystallized from a solvent comprising a mixture of acetone/ether to obtain 1.7 g of ethyl 5-benzylpicolinate of a melting point of 109°~111° C.
