Participants

Reaction Steps

To N-indan-2-yl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-2-amine (11.0 g, 41.3 mmol) and triethylamine (7.48 mL, 53 7 mmol) in dichloromethane (200 mL), add 2-chloroacetyl chloride (3.61 mL, 5.13 g, 45.4 mmol) dropwise over five minutes at 23° C. Stir for 30 minutes and pour the reaction mixture into 1:1 50% saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate: dichloromethane (75 mL). Separate the organic layer from the aqueous layer and further extract the aqueous layer with dichloromethane (2×25 mL). Combine the organic extracts and dry over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filter, and concentrate. Dissolve the residue in chloroform (10 mL) and purify via silica gel column chromatography (gradient elution: 25% ethyl acetate in hexanes to 100% ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (9.75 g, 69%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, *=minor amide rotamer) δ 2.77* (t, 2H), 2.84 (dd, 2H), 2.87 (t, 2H), 3.35 (dd, 2H), 3.76 (t, 2H), 3.85* (t, 2H), 4.12 (s, 2H), 4.52* (s, 2H), 4.57 (s, 2H), 4.72-4.82 (m, 1H), 5.48-5.64 (m, 1H), 7.12-7.21 (m, 4H), 8.03-8.10 (m, 1H).
