Sodium Hydroxide → 1-Isobutyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixed solution was added a 1M aqueous NaOH solution (4.1 ml) of methyl 1-isobutyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-4-carboxylate (430 mg) in CH3OH-THF (4 ml-3 ml). The solution was stirred at room temperature for 10 hours, and then concentrated under reduced pressure, and water (10 ml) was added, and subsequently 1M HCl was added thereto until pH becomes 3. The resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried under reduced pressure to obtain 1-isobutyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-4-carboxylic acid (325 mg) as white powders.
