Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The mixture of 2,6-dihydroxybenzoate (168 mg, 1.0 mmol) and 2M methylamine in THF (3 mL, 6.0 mmol) in a sealed tube was heated at 100° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by flash chromatography on silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate (1:1) to provide the titled compound (67 mg) as white solid. MS (ESI(+)) m/e 168 (M+H)+; 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 12.57(bs, 2H), 8.82 (bs, 1H), 7.14 (t, J=8.1 Hz 1H), 6.35 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 2.85(d, J=4.7 Hz, 3H).
