Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 6-[(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)sulfanyl]pyridine-3-carboxylate (Intermediate 210, 345 mg, 1.37 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL) was added a 2M sodium hydroxide aq. solution (1.37 mL, 2.74 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h and then evaporated to dryness. The remaining residue was dissolved in water (20 mL), acidified to pH 4.5 with a 1M aq. HCl solution and extracted with DCM (3×25 mL). Combined organics were dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness to afford the title compound as a white solid (300 mg, 93%). Method C HPLC-MS: MH+ requires m/z=238. Found: m/z=238, Rt=1.35 min (98%).
