IPC: C07D409/06

Abstract: Preparation of pyridine derivatives (I) involves: (1) reducing a 5-hydroxymethyl-nicotinic acid derivative (XXII) to the hydroxymethyl derivative; (2) oxidizing to an aldehyde; (3) reacting with diethyl-2-(cyclohexylamino)-vinyl-phosphonate to give a pyridyl-acrolein (IX) and (4) reacting with an alkyl acetoacetate (X). Preparation of pyridine compounds of formula (I) or their oxidation products involves: (1) reducing a 5-hydroxymethylnicotinic acid derivative of formula (XXII) to the hydroxymethyl derivative, using a metal hydride in a solvent at -70 to +100[deg]C; (2) oxidizing the product conventionally to an aldehyde; (3) reacting the product with diethyl 2-(cyclohexylamino)-vinyl-phosphonate in the presence of sodium hydride in a solvent at -20 to + 40[deg]C to give an acrolein derivative of formula (IX); (4) reacting (IX) with an acetoacetate ester of formula (X) in presence of base in a solvent; and (5) optionally saponifying the obtained ester (I) to give an acid, cyclizing the acid to give a lactone, saponifying the ester or lactone to give a salt, hydrogenating the ethylenylene residue (X = CH=CH) to give ethylene (X = CH 2CH 2) and/or separating isomers.
