Participants

Reaction Steps

A flask was charged with 5-bromo-3-(2-methylpyridin-3-yloxy)picolinonitrile (60 g, 207 mmol) and sulfuric acid (203 g, 2068 mmol). The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. Water (500 mL) was added carefully and neutralized using 50% sodium hydroxide to pH 5.0. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane and ethyl acetate, dried and concentrated to afford 5-bromo-3-(2-methylpyridin-3-yloxy)picolinamide (63.0 g, 204 mmol, 98.9% yield) as yellow solid.
