Sodium Chloride → Methyl (5-nitropyridin-2-yl)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The solution of dimethyl 2-(5-nitropyridin-2-yl)malonate (10.0 g 41.7 mmol), NaCl (2.58 g, 44.20 mmol) and H2O (1.3 g, 74.23 mmol) in DMSO (50 mL) was stirred at 130 degree for 6 h. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with H2O and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by a standard method to get desired product.
