Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 3-(2-cyano-6-methyl-4-pyridyl)propanoate (1.6 g, 6.5 mmol) and 4-chlorothiosalicylic acid (2.4 g, 13.1 mmol) were dissolved in pyridine (20 ml). The mixture was refluxed for 24 hrs. The solvent was evaporated, and residue was subjected to a silica gel column chromatography. The fractions eluted with hexane-ethyl acetate (2:1, v/v) were collected, concentrated and recrystallized from hexane-ethyl acetate to give the titled compound (1.2 g, 46%) as pale yellow crystals.
