Triethylamine → 2-(4-Bromo-3-formyl-phenoxy)-6-[2-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-ethylamino]-nicotinonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(4-bromo-3-formyl-phenoxy)-6-[(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-methyl-amino]-nicotinonitrile (7, 0.94 g, 2.59 mmol) in THF (anhydrous, 100 mL) were added tert-butyl chloro-dimethyl silane (0.86 g, 5.7 mmol), Et3N (0.8 mL, 5.7 mmol) and cat. amount of DMAP. The solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solution was filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification was accomplished by silica gel chromatography, eluting with 5%-50% EtOAc/hexanes gradient, to afford 1.1 g (89% yield) of the title compound.
