Acetic Anhydride → N-{4-[(3-bromophenyl)amino]pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7-yl}acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-amino-4-(3-bromoanilino)pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine (0.154 g, 0.49 mmol), acetic anhydride (0.14 mL, 1.5 mmol), triethylamine (0.14 mL, 1.0 mmol) and a catalytic amount of 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine are stirred under N2 at room temperature for 18 h. The reaction is then quenched by addition of ice water. The dark precipitate is collected by Buchner filtration and is purified by preparative tlc (Rf=0.25, 7% MeOH/CHCl3). Recrystallization from EtOH gives 7-acetylamino-4-(3-bromoanilino)pyrido[4,3-d]-pyrimidine (13.5 mg, 7.7%). 1H NMR (DMSO) δ 10.92 (1H, s), 10.22 (1H, s), 9.64 (1H, s), 8.70 (1H, s), 8.28 (1H, s), 8.21 (1H,s), 7.88 (1H, d, J=7.7Hz) 7.41-7.34 (3H, m), 2.16 (3H, s).
