Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution α-hexylthio-phenylacetate (204 mg) and 3-amino-2,4-bis(methylthio)-6-methyl-pyridine (146 mg) in methylene chloride (5 ml) was added dropwise 2M solution of trimethylaluminum in toluene (0.4 ml), and the mixture was refluxed for 16 hours. After cooling to 0° it was acidified slowly with 1N hydrochloric acid, and extracted with ethyl acetate twice. The combined extracts were washed with water and brine, dried (magnesium sulfate) and evaporated to give a solid residue. It was purified by a column chromatography on silica gel with elution by 2:8 ethyl acetate-hexane to give a solid residue. Crystallization from ethyl ether and hexane to provide pure N-[2,4-bis(methylthio)-6-methyl-3-pyridyl]-α-hexylthio-phenylacetamide (24 mg).
