2,9-Dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline → 2-Amino-5-[4-(piperidine-1-sulfonyl)-phenylsulfanyl]-isonicotinic acid pentyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Copper iodide (26 mg, 0.14 mmol) and neocuproine (29 mg, 0.14 mmol) were added to a stirred mixture of 2-amino-5-iodo-isonicotinic acid pentyl ester (450 mg, 1.35 mmol), 4-(piperidine-1-sulfonyl)-benzenethiol (449 mg, 1.49 mmol) and sodium t-butoxide (195 mg, 2.025 mmol) in toluene (10 ml) and the reaction was heated to reflux overnight. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, solids filtered off through celite and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure onto silica. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography using ethyl acetate 2/3 hexane as eluent to afford 2-amino-5-[4-(piperidine-1-sulfonyl)-phenylsulfanyl]-isonicotinic acid pentyl ester as an orange solid (348 mg, 56%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): (1 H, s, py); 7.51 (2 H, d, Ar); 7.10 (2 H, d, Ar); 6.80 (1 H, s, py); 4.92 (2 H, br s, NH2); 4.14 (2 H, t, OCH2); 2.90 (4 H, m, 2×CH2N pip); 1.53 (6 H, m, OCH2CH2, 2×CH2 pip); 1.46 (2 H, m, CH2 pip); 1.24 (4 H, m, OCH2CH2CH2CHCH3); 0.80 (3 H, t, CH2CH3).
