Potassium Carbonate → Diethyl 2-((1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-ylamino)methylene)malonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Diethyl 2-((2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-ylamino)methylene)malonate (7.50 g, 26.8 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (30 ml) and treated with potassium carbonate (7.40 g, 53.5 mmol) and 4-methoxybenzyl chloride (5.45 ml, 40.1 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The reaction was diluted with water (150 ml) and the solid that crashed out was collected by suction filtration. The solid was washed with water and dried to give diethyl 2-((1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-ylamino)methylene)malonate (9.00 g, 84.0% yield) as a light green solid. MS (M+H)+ 401.
