Sodium Carbonate → HCID 69355460, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-(4-cyano-3-fluoro-phenyl)-nicotinic acid ethyl ester from Example 1a, potassium acetate (2 equiv.), and 18-crown-6 ether (2 equiv.) in MeCN is heated at reflux in 36 h. The mixture is cooled, aqueous sodium carbonate is added and stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was extracted with ether (discarded). The aqueous layer is neutralized with 1N HCl, extracted with EtOAc, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. Purification by flash column chromatography gives 5-(4-cyano-3-hydroxy-phenyl)-nicotinic acid ethyl ester.
