3-Aminopyridine → Methyl 2-oxo-1-(pyridin-3-yl)-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-oxo-2H-pyran-3-carboxylate (462 mg, 3 mmol, Aldrich) in DMF (6 mL) at rt was added 3-aminopyridine (282 mg, 3 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at rt, treated with EDCI.HCl (650 mg, 3.4 mmol) and DMAP (200 mg), stirred for an additional 24 h, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by preparative HPLC to afford the desired product (980 mg, 95%) as a beige solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 13.00 (br s, 1H), 8.83 (br s, 1H), 8.74 (br s, 1H), 8.29 (dd, 1H, J=7.2, 1.7 Hz), 8.18 (d, 1H, J=8.3 Hz), 7.73 (dd, 1H, J=7.7, 5.0 Hz), 7.66 (dd, 1H, J=6.6, 1.6 Hz), 6.42 (t, 1H, J=7.1 Hz), 3.87 (s, 3H).
