Hydroxyamine hydrochloride → 3-Amino-6-methoxy-5-trifluoromethyl-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(2,5-Dimethyl-pyrrol-1-yl)-6-methoxy-5-trifluoromethyl-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (833 mg, 2.65 mmol) was dissolved in EtOH (45 ml) and water (23 ml). To this mixture was added TEA (1.102 ml, 7.95 mmol) followed by hydroxylamine hydrochloride (1842 mg, 26.5 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated at reflux overnight. After cooling to RT, the mixture was stirred with 20 g Isolute® PE-AX (silica-based sorbent with a chemically bonded quaternary amine functional group used for isolation of acidic compounds) for 30 mins, washed with MeOH (100 ml), 1M HCl: MeCN 2:8 (200 ml). The organic portion was removed and the mixture was filtered. The filtrate was acidified with 2M HCl (50 ml) and the EtOH was removed in vacuo. The aqueous portion was extracted with DCM (200 ml) and the organic extract was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give a brown oil. Purification by chromatography on silica eluting with DCM: MeOH afforded the title product as a yellow solid: LC-MS Rt=2.90 min [M+H]+ 237 (Method 10minLC_v002)
