Participants

Reaction Steps

60% NaH (23 mg, 0.58 mmol) is added to a solution of N-[2-methoxy-6-(2-methoxy-4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-5-methyl-pyridin-3-yl]-propionamide (0.15 g, 0.39 mmol) in DMF (1 ml) at room temperature. After stirring at room temperature for 20 minutes, iodo propane (0.058 ml, 0.58 mmol) is added. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 3 days. 20 ml of water is added and the mixture is extracted with EtOAc. The combined extracts are washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure and the residue is purified by flash column chromatography to give N-[2-methoxy-6-(2-methoxy-4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-5-methyl-pyridin-3-yl]-N-propyl-propionamide. Rf (hexane/EtOAc=2:1)=0.42.
