2,4,6-Trimethylpyridine → N-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-7-methyl-4-oxo-2-(thiomorpholinomethyl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-7-methyl-4-oxo-4,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxamide (0.300 g) from Example No. 35 in DMF (16 mL) are added DMAP (16 mg), 2,4,6-collidine (0.27 mL), and methanesulfonyl chloride (0.16 mL). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 h and then thiomorpholine (0.83 mL) is added. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 3 d and is then poured into water (50 mL). The resulting off-white solid is filtered off and recrystallized from ethanol to yield 0.222 g (60%) of the title compound as an off-white solid.
