Nitrogen → 2,6-dimethyl-3-(6-morpholinopyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-4(3H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-morpholinopyridin-3-amine (1.79 g, 10 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (100 mL) was added trimethylaluminium (40 mL, 40 mmol, 1 M in heptane) carefully under N2. The mixture was stirred at rt for 30 min, followed by the addition of a solution of methyl 3-acetaminocrotonate (1.89 g, 12 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL). The reaction was stirred at rt for 6 h, then quenched with saturated NH4Cl aqueous solution (100 mL). The organic phase was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by recrystallized from EtOAc to give the title compound as a pale yellow solid (1.11 g, 39%). The compound was characterized by the following spectroscopic data:
