Potassium Carbonate → Tert-butyl(6-bromo-3-methoxypyridin-2-yl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the title compound and di-tert-butyl(6-bromo-3-methoxypyridin-2-yl)imidodicarbonate (7.19 g, approximate ratio of 43:57) in MeOH (55 mL) at rt was added K2CO3 (7.39 g, 53.5 mmol). After stirring at 55° C. for 1.5 h the mixture was cooled to rt and combined with a previous reaction mixture derived from title compound and di-tert-butyl(6-bromo-3-methoxypyridin-2-yl)imidodicarbonate (8.83 g, approximate ratio of 43:57) and filtered. The residue was washed with EtOAc and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. Purification by gradient flash chromatography, eluting with 10-25% EtOAc in heptane yielded the title compound (8.38 g, 27.6 mmol) as a pale yellow solid.
