Reaction Steps

To a suspension of sodium hydride (45 mg, 1.1 mmol, 60% oil dispersion) in THF (10 mL), under nitrogen, was added 2-ethoxyethanol (113 mg, 1.25 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 30 min. To this mixture, 8-cyclopentyl-6-fluoro-2-methylsulfanyl-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one was added. The reaction mixture was then heated to reflux and stirred overnight. The cooled solution was quenched with water (25 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL). The organic layer was subsequently washed twice with aq. NH4Cl (20 mL each) and brine (20 mL). The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate. Removal of the drying agents and evaporation of the solvent gave a yellow oil, which was chromatographed on silica gel eluted with an ethyl acetate/hexane gradient to give 8-cyclopentyl-6-(2-ethoxy-ethoxy)-2-methylsulfanyl-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one as a clear oil (289 mg, 0.83 mmol). 1H NMR δ (400 MHz, CDCl3) 8.52 (s, 1H), 6.77 (s, 1H), 6.04–5.95 (m, 1H), 4.16 (t, J=4.0 Hz, 2H), 3.86 (t, J=4.0 Hz, 2H), 3.58 (q, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 2.59 (s, 3H), 2.34–2.25 (m, 2H), 2.13–2.03 (m, 2H), 1.91–1.82 (m, 2H), 1.71–1.60 (m, 2H), 1.20 (t, J=8.0 Hz, 3H); MS (APCI+) 350 (M+1).
