Picolinic acid → Pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (3-hydroxy-adamantan-1-yl)-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 40 ml vial was added picolinic acid (0.68 g, 5.5 mmol), DMF (15 ml), triethylamine (0.90 mL, 6.4 mmol), and O-(Benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU, 2.3 g, 6.0 mmol). The mixture was stirred at rt for 5 minutes to get a clear solution. 3-Amino-adamantanol (0.84 g, 5.0 mmol; AK Scientific, 897-4G Independence Ave., Mountain View, Calif. 94043) was added to the above solution and stirred at rt for 2 hours. DMF was removed in Genevac and the residue was dissolved in DCM (20 mL), washed with 1N aqueous NaOH, water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 1.32 g (97%) of crude title compound, pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (3-hydroxy-adamantan-1-yl)-amide, as an oil, which became a colorless solid upon standing at room temperature. LC/MS (Gradient: acetonitrile in water, 20-85%, in 1.7 minutes with a cycle time of 2 min. Flow rate: 5.0 mL/min. Mobile phase additive: 30 mM of ammonium formate. Column: Inertsil® ODS-3, 50×4.6 mm, 3 μm particle size (GL Sciences, Tokyo, Japan)): Retention time: 0.79 min; purity (UV254): 100%; ESI-MS m/z: 273 (M+H)+. It was used in the next step without further purification.
