Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Amino-2-methoxy pyridine (25 g, 0.2 mol) was added to ethylformate (50 ml). This solution was refluxed for eight hours. The volatiles were removed on a rotary evaporator at 30° C. and at aspirator vacuum. The resultant product was pink solid, 30.2 g, 99% of theory, m.p. 81°-83° C. The structure was confirmed by mass spectroscopy (MS), infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
