Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To (5-bromo-6-methoxy-pyridin-3-yl)-acetonitrile (1.139 g, 5.02 mmol) in EtOH (11 ml) was added acetyl chloride (3.6 mL, 50.54 mmol), and the reaction was stirred at 50° C. for 24 hours, and at room temperature for 2 days. The reaction was worked up with CH2Cl2 and saturated aqueous NaHCO3, and then reacidified and extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dried, filtered, and concentrated to give (5-bromo-6-methoxy-pyridin-3-yl)-acetic acid ethyl ester.
