Hydrochloric Acid → 5-(2-Acetamido-5-methylpyridin-4-yl)-2-bromo-3-furoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 5-(2-acetamido-5-methylpyridin-4-yl)-2-bromo-3-furoate (20 g, 54.6 mmol) in EtOH (240 mL) and 1M NaOH (80 mL) was allowed to stir at rt for 2 h. The reaction mixture was acidified with concentrated HCl to pH=3-4 and then filtered. The resulting solid was washed with water and dried to give 5-(2-acetamido-5-methylpyridin-4-yl)-2-bromo-3-furoic acid (10.0 g, 43%).
