Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution (3 ml) of 2-amino-5-methylnicotinamide (100 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide was added 2-(bromomethyl)-4-chloro-1-(methylsulfonyl)benzene (220 mg), and the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 4 hr. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, ethyl acetate was added, and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration. The obtained crystals were dissolved in 1N sodium hydroxide solution, and the solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by basic silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=5:1→ethyl acetate:methanol=10:1). The obtained yellow solid was dissolved in methanol, 4N hydrogen chloride-ethyl acetate solution (1 ml) was added, and the mixture was crystallized from methanol-ethyl acetate to give the title compound (45 mg).
