6′-(3-Ethylureido)-4-(4-pyridyl)-3,3′-bipyridine-5-carboxylic Acid
(27). A 1N solution of LiOH (0.3 mL) was added dropwise to a
solution of 54a (50 mg, 0.13 mmol) in methanol. The reaction
progress was followed by LC/MS, and the reaction was stopped upon
reaching above 90−95% conversion to product. The methanol was
removed partially under reduced pressure, and EtOAc (5 mL) was
added. The mixture was cooled to 4 °C, acidified to pH ∼2 with 10%
solution of HCl, and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was
separated and dried with Na2SO4. Volatiles were removed under
reduced pressure to give a solid residue, which was dried to give the
