Participants

Reaction Steps

Heat a mixture of (S)-(+)-2-sec-butylamino-6-(methanesulfonyl-methylamino)-isonicotinic acid methyl ester (12.66 g, 0.04014 mol) and potassium hydroxide (2.7 g, 0.04817 mol, 1.2 eq) until dissolved. Dilute with water (62 mL) and was heat to reflux for 3 h. Cool to room temperature and add 1 N HCl (8 mL). Concentrate and add dichloromethane (300 mL) and stir well.
