Diisopropylethylamine → 2-Chloro-N-(2-methoxy-4-methyl-3-pyridinyl)-3-pyridinecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.4 g (2.9 mmol) of 3-amino-2-methoxy-4-methylpyridine and 0.5 g (2.9 mmol) of 2-chloronicotinoyl chloride in EtOAc at 0° C. was added 0.4 g (3.0 mmol) of N,N-diisopropylethylamine. Stirring was continued for 10 h at which point the mixture was washed with 0.1N HCl , dried (MgSO4), concentrated and purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (1:1 EtOAc:hexanes) to yield 0.7 g (88%) of the desired material. m.p.: 145°-146° C. (Recrystallized from ethyl acetate).
