Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Chloro-5-hydroxy-1,2-dimethyl-6-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)pyridin-4(1H)-one (618 mg, 2.3 mmol) was mixed with pyridine (276 μL, 3.4 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL) at room temperature. Thionyl chloride (249 μL, 3.41 mmol) was added dropwise. After being stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, the reaction mixture was concentrated by rotary evaporation. The residue was dried under vacuum and then mixed with ethanol (20 mL) under ice-water bath. An ethanolic dimethylamine (5.6 M, 4.06 mL, 22.8 mmol) solution was added at about 5° C. and the mixture was stirred for 20 minutes. The reaction mixture was concentrated by rotary evaporation. The residue was mixed with water (10 mL) and the pH of the solution was adjusted to 5.5. The precipitated solid was collected by suction filtration, and washed with water, then triturated with ether/hexanes to give 3-chloro-6-[1-(dimethylamino)-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl]-5-hydroxy-1,2-dimethylpyridin-4(1H)-one (380 mg) as an off-white solid. Yield=56%; 1H NMR (CDCl3, 90 MHz) δ (ppm): 4.88 (q, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 4.08 (s, 3H), 2.65-2.81 (m, 3H) and 2.39 (s, 6H); MS m/z 299 [M+1]+.
