Hydrochloric Acid → 6-(5-Methyl-3-pyridin-2-yl-isoxazol-4-ylmethoxy)-nicotinic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 6-(5-methyl-3-pyridin-2-yl-isoxazol-4-ylmethoxy)-nicotinic acid methyl ester (330 mg, 1.0 mmol) in THF (3 mL) and methanol (3 mL) was added a solution of lithium hydroxide monohydrate (85.1 mg, 2.0 mmol) in water (3 mL) added and the resulting mixture stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was acidified to pH 4 with HCl (1 N, 30 mL) and the resulting mixture was filtered. The solid was dried to afford the title compound (284 mg, 90%) which was obtained as a white solid. MS: m/e=310.5 [M−H]−.
