Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 2-(2-acetamido-5-methylpyridin-4-yl)-4-iodo-1,3-oxazole-5-carboxylate (33.0 g, 80.0 mmol) in THF (660 mL) was added an aqueous solution of LiOH (1M in water, 80 mL). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 5 h and then diluted with water. The organic solvent was removed by evaporation and the pH of the remaining aqueous solution was adjusted to 3-4. The mixture was filtered and the solid was collected, washed with water, and dried to give 2-(2-acetamido-5-methylpyridin-4-yl)-4-iodo-1,3-oxazole-5-carboxylic acid (25.0 g, 81%).
