Triethylamine → 2-[1-(dimethylamino)-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl]-3-hydroxy-1-methylpyridin-4(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 3-hydroxy-1-methyl-2-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)pyridin-4(1H)-one (5.00 g, 22.4 mmol) in 40 mL of acetonitrile at ice-water bath was added Vilsmeier's reagent (4.30 g, 33.6 mmol) portionwise. The resulting mixture was stirred for 2 h before being added to a suspension of dimethylamine hydrochloride (6.00 g, 73.6 mmol) and Et3N (15.0 mL, 107.6 mmol) in 30 mL of acetonitrile. The resulting suspension was stirred at RT for overnight. The solid was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated to dryness. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (10% MeOH in EtOAc as eluant) to afford title compound, Apo7041 (1.8 g). Yield=32%; 1H NMR (90 MHz, CD3OD-D4) δ (ppm): 7.63 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 1H), 6.41 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 1H), 4.78 (q, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 3.99 (s, 3H), 2.41 (s, 6H); MS m/z 273 [M+Na]+, 251 [M+1]+, 206 (100%).
