Dimethylformamide → HCID 17817669, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Hydroxypicolinic acid (1.39 g, 10.0 mmol) and 1.95 g (12.0 mmol) of carbonyldiimidazole were mixed into anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (hereinafter referred to as “DMF”) to prepare a suspension (30 ml). An anhydrous DMF solution (25 ml) of 1.85 g (10.0 mmol) of 4-phenoxyaniline was added dropwise to this suspension, and the reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature overnight. Water (50 ml) was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the dried organic layer was concentrated under the reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate-n-hexane) to give 1.24 g (yield 41%) of the title compound.
