HCID 58201184, compound → 3-Chloro-4-methoxy-2,5-dimethylpyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The above 3-chloro-5-(chloromethyl)-4-methoxy-2-methylpyridine (550 mg) was dissolved in 10 ml of methanol, and 10% Pd carbon (50 mg) was then added to the solution. Normal-pressure contact hydrogenation was performed on the mixture under cooling on ice for 3 hours. Thereafter, the catalyst was removed by filtration, and methanol was then distilled away under reduced pressure. The residue was extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and it was then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled away, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate-hexane), so as to obtain the title compound (365 mg) as an oily substance.
