Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-fluoro-2-mercaptobenzoic acid (1.50 g, 8.7 mmol), 2-cyanopyridine (0.92 g, 8.8 mmol) and pyridine (30.0 ml) was refluxed at 135° C. for 48 hrs as described in Example 9. The reaction mixture was concentrated. The residue was subjected to a silica gel column chromatography and eluted with hexane-ethyl acetate (2:1, v/v). The resultant product was recrystallized from ethanol to give the titled compound (0.09 g, 4%).
