Dimethyl Sulfoxide → HCID 86717887, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.69 g of 3-[(2,6-difluorobenzyl)oxy]pyridine-2-amine (Example 4A; 7.13 mmol, 1 equivalent) were initially charged in 44.4 ml of ethanol, and 425 mg of powdered molecular sieve 3 Å and 6.8 g of ethyl 2-chloro-3-cyclopropyl-3-oxopropanoate (crude product from Example 26A) were added. The resulting reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 48 h and then concentrated, and the residue was chromatographed (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate as mobile phase). The product-containing fractions were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained in this manner was taken up in methanol, dimethyl sulphoxide and water and the solid formed was filtered off and dried under high vacuum. This gave 410 mg (15.4% of theory) of the title compound.
