Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-(2,6-dimethoxypyridin-3-yl)-3-ethoxyacrylate (600 mg, 2.13 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (18 mL) was gradually added 3N aqueous HCl (3.5 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, then carefully added to a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (30 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic extracts were passed though a plug of cotton to dry and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting oil was purified by flash chromatography (0-60% EtOAc/heptanes) to provide the title compound (515 mg, 95% yield) as a white solid.
