Abstract

A new facile synthesis of pyridine dicarboxylic acid derivative, dimethyl 4-(2-(2,6-bis(methoxycarbonyl)pyridin-4-yl)vinyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate (DVDPA), from dimethyl 4-(chloromethyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate (CMDPA) in presence of nitrogen bases has been described. The influences of different base/CMDPA molar ratio and different nitrogen bases were also investigated. The result has shown that the yield could reach 81 % when triethylamine was used and the molar ratio of base/CMDPA was 2.4. The overall yield of title compound via the three-step synthesis starting from dimethyl 4-(hydroxylmethyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate (HMDPA) was improved to 69 %.
