Reaction Steps

Refer to synthesis of D46 for preparation of 2,6-dichloro-nicotinamide (1). A sealed reaction vessel containing 2,6-dichloro-nicotinamide (1) (8.66 g, 45.3 mmol) and 2-methoxy-ethylamine (15.6 mL, 181 mmol) in anhydrous dimethylformamide (40 mL) was heated to 60° C. for 7 h. The reaction was then cooled to room temperature. Dimethylformamide was azeotropically removed by the addition and evaporation of toluene (6×700 mL) by rotary evaporation with water bath at 70° C. An orange oil was obtained (12.2 g). The oil was fractionated by dry-pack column chromatography as follows: the oil was diluted with CH2Cl2 (400 mL) followed by the addition of silica gel (100 g, 230-400 mesh) and concentrated to dryness. This was loaded onto a silica column (200 g, 230-400 mesh) and eluted with 50% EtOAc/hexanes. Pure fractions were combined and concentrated to give the title compound as a white solid (5.37 g, 64% isolated yield). 1H NMR 400 MHz (d6-DMSO) δ7.79 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.30 (s, 1H), 6.76 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 6.52 (s, 1H), 4.04 (br t, J=4.7 Hz, 1H), 3.80 (td, J=5.5, 4.7 Hz, 2H), 3.63 (t, J=5.5 Hz, 2H), 2.94 (s, 3H).
