Hydrochloric Acid → 3-Amino-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid

To a stirring solution of 3-Amino-5-trifluoromethyl-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (Intermediate A3) (1 g, 4.54 mmol) in MeOH (20 ml) was added 2M NaOH (0.182 g, 4.54 mmol). The orange solution was stirred at RT for 1 minute and then into water (10 ml). The solution was acidified to pH1 with the addition of 1M HCl and the product was extracted with EtOAc (150 ml). The organic portions were combined, washed with brine (50 ml), dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as an orange solid; LC-MS Rt=0.82 mins[M+H]+ 207.1 (Method 2minLC_v002); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 13.9 (1H, broad hump), 8.11 (1H, s), 7.59 (1H, s), 7.08 (2H, broad hump) (trace of EtOAc present but correlates to proposed structure).
