Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-bromo-pyridin-4-yl)-acetic acid (60.0 g, 277.7 mmol) in ethanol (600 ml), conc: sulfuric acid (5.0 ml) was added at rt and the reaction mixture was heated at 90° C. for 9 h. Reaction mixture was cooled to rt and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove solvent completely. The residue obtained was cooled to 0° C. and pH was adjusted to 8 using 10% aqueous NaHCO3 solution. The resultant contents were worked up with ethyl acetate by washing with water, brine and dried over anhy. Na2SO4. Organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain crude compound. Column chromtography purification of the crude compound using 15% ethyl acetate in hexane as eluent furnished title compound as a brown oil. Yield: 65.0 g (88.5%). TLC (30% ethyl acetate in hexane) Rf=0.39; LCMS: RtH7=0.824 [M+1]+=243.8 and 245.8; HPLC RtH9=3.759 min (69%); 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.32 (t, 1H), 7.43 (s, 1H), 7.21-7.15 (M, 1H), 4.18 (q, 2H), 1.27 (t, 3H).
