Methyl 4-methylnicotinate Use and Manufacturing

4-Methyl-nicotinic acid methyl esterTrieithylamine (45 g, 0.45 mol) was added into the mixture of compound 3-bromo-4-methyl-pyridine (25 g, 0.15 mol), Pd(OAc)2 (3.37 g, 0.015 mol) and dppf (6.19 g, 0.015 mol) in DMF/MeOH (150 mL/150 mL) dropwise. A metal reactor was charged with 3-bromo-4-methyl-pyridine (200 g, 0.116 mol) and a mixture of DMF/MeOH (1 L/1L). To this was added EtProcedure b: A metal reactor was charged with 3-bromo-4-methyl-pyridine (200 g, 0.116 mol) and a mixture of DMF/MeOH (1 L/1L).

To this was added EtA metal reactor was charged with 3-bromo-4-methyl-pyridine (200 g, 0.116 mol) and a mixture of DMF/MeOH (1 L/1L). To this was added Et3N (400 g, 0.395 mol), palladium (II) acetate (8 g, 0.036 mol) and 1, 1’-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (16 g, 0.029 mol). The reactor was closed and pressurized with CO gas (3 MPa) and the reaction mixture was stirred and heated overnight at 140 °C. The RM was cooled, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography over silica gel (gradient eluent:EtOAc/Petroleum ether from 1/1 to 1/0). The product fractions were collected and the solvent was evaporated to afford the desired intermediate 1 (90 g, 5 1percent).Procedure b: A metal reactor was charged with 3-bromo-4-methyl-pyridine (200 g, 0.116 mol) and a mixture of DMF/MeOH (1 L/1L). To this EtA solution of 4-methylnicotinic acid (2.00 g, 14.6 mmol) and concentrated HGeneral procedure: To a solution of carboxylic acid 22 or 29–31 (0.1mol) in dry methanol (150mL), concd H4-Methyl-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid hydrochloride (1 : 1) (40 g, 230.4 mmol) was added to a refluxing mixture of sulphuric acid (20 mL) and MeOH (400 mL). The mixture was re fluxed overnight, then it was evaporated and the resulting slurry was added to a cold solution of NaHCOs (64 g) in water (360 mL). The product was extracted with DCM and the organic layer was dried over MgSC^, filtered and evaporated, yielding intermediate 1 (28.70 g, 83percent).Procedure a: 4-Methyl-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid hydrochloride (1 : 1) (40 g, 230.4 mmol) was added to a refluxing mixture of sulphuric acid (20 mL) and MeOH (400 mL).

The mixture was heated at a gentle reflux for 5 h, then it was stirred for 16 h, while cooling to ambient temperature. An in-process HPLC was run after stirring for 15 h at ambient temperature [HPLC (Method A): 95.0percent (AUC), t
