Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Nitro-2-aminopyridine (5 mmol, 0.7 g), 2-benzoyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid ethyl ester (5 mmol, 1.2 g), and tosic acid (0.1 g) were combined in ethanol, then heated under reflux. The resulting solid was triturated with chloroform, and the insoluble material filtered from the reaction mixture. The filtrate was purified over silica gel and yielded the named product (m.p. 146.6° C.-148.6° C.).
