Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(4-amino-3-fluorophenoxy)nicotinic acid methyl ester (0.50 g, 1.91 mmol) in MeOH (2 mL) was added methylamine (0.63 g, 19.1 mmol, 2.0 M in MeOH). The reaction flask was sealed and heated at 40° C. for 4 h. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the crude product was purified by column chromatography eluted with 5% MeOH/CH2Cl2 to give the 0.4 g (80%) of the title compound. 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 8.65 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 8.62 to 8.60 (m, 1H), 7.54 to 7.52 (m, 1H), 6.94 (dd, J=2.7, 12.0 Hz, 1H), 6.81 to 6.67 (m, 3H), 5.10 (s, 2H), 2.72 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 3H); MS LC-MS [M+H]+=262.2, RT=0.27 min.
