Reaction Steps

Into a 75 mL sealed tube were combined 2-amino-3-hydroxy-5-nitropyridine (0.138 g, 0.000890 mol), N,N-dimethylformamide (4.1 mL) and potassium carbonate (0.39 g, 0.0028 mol). The mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 10 minutes then 1-bromo-2,3-epoxypropane (0.12 g, 0.00089 mol) was added in one portion. The flask was sealed, then heated to 110° C. and stirred overnight. After allowing to cool, the mixture was concentrated under vacuum to give a crude solid which was dissolved in EtOAc (75 mL), washed with water and brine, then dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under vacuum to leave a crude residue. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using MeOH/CH2Cl2 (0-10% gradient) as eluent to give a solid (0.092 g, 46%). LC-MS 1.92 min. M/Z=212.0 (M+1). 1H NMR (d6-DMSO) δ 8.8 (d, 1 H), 7.8 (d, 1 H), 5.1 (t, 1H),4.2 (m, 1 H), 4.0 (m, 1H), 3.62 (m, 1H), 3.45 (m, 1H), 3.21 (m, 1H).
