2-Amino-5-methylpyridine → 4-{4-[(Dimethylamino)carbonyl]phenoxy}-2-ethyl-N-(5-methylpyridin-2-yl)-1-benzofuran-6-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-{4-[(dimethylamino)carbonyl]phenoxy}-2-ethyl-1-benzofuran-6-carboxylic acid (400 mg, 1.13 mmol), HATU (671 mg, 1.70 mmol) and DIPEA (226 mg, 1.70 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was stirred for 1 h. Then 5-methylpyridin-2-amine (146 mg, 2.26 mmol) was added. The resulting solution was stirred overnight. The reaction was monitored by TLC (petroleum ether/EtOAc 1:1). The mixture was poured into water (30 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (30 mL×3). The organic layer was washed with brine (20 mL×2), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The product was purified via preparative HPLC to afford the desired compound (133.7 mg, 27%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.92 (bs, 1H), 8.25 (d, 1H), 8.03 (s, 1H), 7.82 (s, 1H), 7.55 (d, 2H), 7.44-7.37 (m, 3H), 6.96 (d, 2H), 6.22 (s, 1H), 3.10-2.93 (d, 6H), 2.74 (q, 2H), 2.26 (s, 3H), 1.26 (t, 3H). LCMS m/z 444.40 (M+H)+.
