Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-Amino-6-chloro-pyridine-3-carboxamide (2, 4.5 g, 26.23 mmol) was added to a pressure tube and triethylorthoformate (30 mL) was added. The reaction vessel was sealed and heated to 140° C. for 11 h. After the cyclization was complete, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and to the solid obtained was added diethyl ether. The solid was filtered, washed with diethyl ether and dried in vacuum to afford 7-chloro-3H-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one (3) as brown solid. MS (ESI) m/z 181.90 [M+1]+.
