Process for manufacturing substituted 5-methoxymethylpyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid derivatives Abstract A process for manufacturing a 2,3-disubstituted-5-methoxymethylpyridine of formula (I), where Z is H or halogen; Z1 is H, halogen, CN or NO2; Y2 is OM, and M is an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, comprises the step of: (i) reacting a compound of formula (II) where Q is a tertiary aliphatic or cyclic, saturated, partially unsaturated or aromatic amine; Z is H or halogen; Z1 is H, halogen, CN or NO2; Y1 and Y2 are each independently OR1, NR1R2, or when taken together Y1Y2 is -O-, -S- or -NR3-; R1 and R2 are each independently H, C1-C4 alkyl optionally substituted with C1-C4 alkoxy or phenyl optionally substituted with one to three C1-C4 alkyl groups, C1-C4 alkoxy groups or halogen atoms, or phenyl optionally substituted with one to three C1-C4 alkyl groups, C1-C4 alkoxy groups or halogen atoms; R3 is H or C1-C4 alkyl, in a methanol/H2O mixture, comprising at least 20% by weight H2O (based on the sum of water and bromide (II)), with a base comprising MOCH3 and/or MOH, where M is alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, under pressure in a closed vessel at a temperature of from 75 to 110°C. Compounds of formula (I) are useful intermediates in the synthesis of herbicidal imidazolinones, like imazamox.
