2-Amino-5-methylpyridine → HCID 59279506, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (0.252 g, 1.63 mmol) in DCM (5 mL) was added slowly to a stirred solution of 5-oxotetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid (Step 1) (0.215 g, 1.65 mmol) in DCM (10 ml) and DMF (50 μl) at 0° C. After 3 hrs at ambient temperature, gas evolution had subsided. DIPEA (0.64, 4.95 mmol) was added followed by the addition of 2-amino-5-picoline (0.357 g, 3.3 mmol) in DCM (5 mL). The reaction mixture was kept at ambient temperature for 3 hrs. Water (0.5 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, eluting with a gradient consisting of 0-40% MeOH in DCM) to give the title compound as a colorless oil (0.138 g). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.74 (br s, 1H), 8.13 (d, 1H), 8.08 (d, 1H), 7.54 (dd, 1H), 4.99 (t, 1H), 2.71 (m, 1H), 2.63 (m, 2H), 2.48 (m, 1H), 2.31 (s, 3H).
