Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(2-pyridinyl)acetic acid (0.50 g, 3 mmol; prepared according to J. Prakt. Chem. 1961, 285, 118) in MeOH (20 mL) was saturated with HCl gas at 0° C., then was allowed to warm to RT. After stirring overnight, the reaction was concentrated under vacuum to afford the title compound (0.54 g, 100%) as a colorless solid: 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ8.90 (br s, 1H), 7.89 (m, 2H), 6.89 (t, J=6.5 Hz, 1H), 6.79 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 4.21 (m, 2H), 3.81 (s, 3H).
