Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride (3.9 ml) and DMF (0.39 ml) were added to a mixture of 2-hydroxy-5-nitro-3-(2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)pyridine and 2-hydroxy-5-nitro-3-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)pyridine (385 mg), followed by stirring at 90° C. for 2 hours. The reaction solution was adjusted to room temperature, slowly added to ice water, and stirred under ice cooling for 30 minutes, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. Then, the resultant was washed with saturated saline and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure, the obtained residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=9:1 to 2:1), and a yellow solid of 2-chloro-5-nitro-3-(2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)pyridine (177 mg) and a yellow solid of 2-chloro-5-nitro-3-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)pyridine (83 mg) were thus obtained.
