Formaldehyde → 1-(4'-Methylbenzenesulfonyl)-3-hydroxy-4-(pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl)pyridin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(4′-Methylbenzenesulfonyl)-3-hydroxypyridin-2(1H)-one (7) (250 mg, 0.94 mmol) and formaldehyde (200 mg, 2.07 mmol) are combined in aqueous ethanol (10 mL) and stirred for 30 minutes. Pyrrolidine (149 mg, 2.07 mmol) is then added and the reaction stirred for 12 hours. The solvent is removed by evaporation and the residue dissolved in methanol (5 mL) and purified via prep HPLC eluting with water/acetonitrile to afford the desired product. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO) δ 1.87 (m, 2H), 1.99 (m, 2H), 2.44 (s, 3H), 3.09 (m, 2H), 3.40 (m, 2H), 4.19 (s, 2H), 6.51 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.51 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.76 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.98 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 9.93 (broad s, 1H); 19F NMR (252 MHz, DMSO) δ 88.4; 13C NMR (75 MHz, DMSO) δ 21.5, 22.7, 50.5, 53.7, 108.7, 118.6, 119.4, 128.4, 129.7, 130.1, 133.1, 146.8, 147.7, 156.2; ES MS (M+1) 349.25; HRMS Calcd.
