2-Amino-5-methylpyridine → N2,N2-Dimethyl-N6-(5-methylpyridin-2-yl)-4-(4-(methylsulfonyl)-phenoxy)-benzofuran-2,6-dicarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-5-methylpyridine (226 mg, 2.09 mmol) was dissolved in DCE (10 mL) at 0° C., and Al(CH3)2Cl (2.09 mL, 1M in hexanes) was then added drop-wise. After stirring the mixture at room temperature for 30 minutes, ethyl 2-(dimethylcarbamoyl)-4-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenoxy)-benzofuran-6-carboxylate (90 mg, 0.21 mmol) was then added and the stirring was continued for another 14 h. The reaction was quenched with potassium sodium tartrate tetrahydrate (20% w/w) cautiously. The product was extracted with CHCl3, washed with brine, and dried over MgSO4. The product was purified by reverse phase HPLC to give the title compound (61 mg, 61%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CHLOROFORM-D) δ ppm 2.32 (s, 3 H) 3.08 (s, 3 H) 3.15 (s, 3 H) 3.34 (s, 3 H) 7.12-7.18 (m, 2 H) 7.19 (s, 1 H) 7.52 (s, 1 H) 7.58 (dd, J=8.48, 2.26 Hz, 1 H) 7.87-7.98 (m, 2 H) 7.99 (s, 1 H) 8.11 (s, 1 H) 8.24 (d, J=8.48 Hz, 1 H) 8.64 (s, 1 H).
