Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4.3 g of 3-pyridinecarbaldehyde, 5.4 g of phenylacetic acid, and 11.4 ml of acetic anhydride, 5.6 g of triethylamine is added with stirring, and the mixture is stirred at 100° C. for 4 hours. The reaction mixture is alkalified with 10% aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The aqueous solution is warmed and filtered. The filtrate is adjusted to pH 4.5 with 10% hydrochloric acid, and the resulting precipitate is collected and recrystallized from ethanol to give 2.7 g of the title compound, m.p. 190°-192° C.
