Acetoxyacetyl chloride → Acetic acid [5-(1-methyl-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinolin-6-yl)-pyridin-3-ylcarbamoyl]-methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-(5-amino-pyridin-3-yl)-1-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-quinolin-2-one hydrochloride (intermediate A-2, 0.045 g, 0.155 mmol) in DCM (1.5 mL) was added TEA (0.039 g, 0.388 mmol) followed by 2-chloro-2-oxoethyl acetate (0.017 g, 0.124 mmol) in DCM (1 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The mixture was diluted with DCM, poured into aq. NaHCO3 (10 mL) and the aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (2×25 mL). Combined organics were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography eluting with a 0 to 5% MeOH-DCM gradient to give the title compound (0.025 g, 46%) as a light brown solid. MS: 354.2 (M+H+).
