Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Silver carbonate (70 g) and methyl iodide (11.2 mL) were added to a solution of ethyl 5-cyclopropyl-6-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylate (12.4 g) in chloroform (250 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for eight hours. The reaction solution was filtered through celite, and then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=9:1→4:1) to give ethyl 5-cyclopropyl-6-methoxypyridine-2-carboxylate (13.05 g, 99%) as a colorless oil.
