Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-methyl-2-mercaptobenzoic acid (1.70 g, 10.1 mmol), 2-cyanopyridine (1.06 g, 10.2 mmol) and pyridine (30.0 ml) was refluxed at 135° C. for 18 hrs as described in Example 9. The reaction mixture was concentrated. The residue was subjected to a silica gel column chromatography and eluted with ethyl acetate. The resultant product was recrystallized from ethanol to give the titled compound (0.51 g, 20%).
