Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of potassium trimethylsilanoate (0.80 g, 6.22 mmol) in THF (26 mL) was added 5-bromo-6-cyano-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (998 mg, 4.15 mmol). The mixture was heated at 50° C. for 3 h, then was cooled to rt and treated with HCl (4 N in dioxane; 1.60 mL). After 30 min, the mixture was concentrated. The residue was dissolved in hot EtOAc and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to give the title compound (993 mg, >100%), which was used in the next step without further purification.
