Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 300 mg (1.10 mmol) 2-amino-4-furan-2-yl-6-methanesulfinyl-pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile in 15 ml dry DME were added 0.23 ml (3.86 mmol) ethanol and 0.25 ml (1.65 mmol) DBU and stirring continued for 2 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo. Chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane 1/4) followed by trituration in ether/hexane afforded 21 mg (8%) 2-amino-6-ethoxy-4-furan-2-yl-pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile as a light yellow crystalline solid. EI-MS m/e (%): 254 (M+, 90), 226 (100), 198 (44), 143 (26).
