Reaction Steps

5-(2,2-Dihydroxyethyl)-2-methyl-5H-furo[3,2-c]pyridine-4-one (2.1 g) and o-phenylenediamine (1.1 g) were suspended in ethanol (20 ml). Sodium hydrogensulfite (5.2 g) was added, and the mixture was heated and stirred overnight under reflux. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature.
