Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,3-diamino-4-picoline (0.1 g, 0.81 mmol) and methoxyacetic acid (0.16 ml, 2 mmol) was heated in a sealed tube at 165° C. for 24 hours. The reaction was cooled and neutralized with NH4OH. The crude material was dissolved in methanol (2 ml) and silica-gel (10 g) was added. The dried silica-gel was then loaded on a silica-gel flash-column and eluted initially with EtOAc and then with 2% methanol in EtOAc. The pure desired compound was obtained as a cream colored solid (0.067 g, 47%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3): 8.27 (d, 1H, J=5 Hz), 7.07 (d, 1H, J=5 Hz), 4.86 (s, 2H), 3.57 (s, 3H), 2.7 (s, 3H). FAB-MS: m/e 178 (M+H).
