METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUBSTITUTED AND NON-SUBSTITUTED 2,3-PYRIDINE AND CHINOLINE CARBONIC ACIDS

摘要

There is provided a process for the preparation of a substituted or unsubstituted 2,3-pyridine or quinolinedicarboxylic acid by hydrolysis of a substituted or unsubstituted 2,3-pyridine or quinolinedicarboxylic acid diester with an acid having an ionization constant pKa of less than 3.0 followed by isolation of the product as the free acid or an acid salt.
