Acetic Acid → 6-{5-[2-(tert-Butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-ethylamino]-pyridin-3-yl}-1-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-quinolin-2-one

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, 0.062 g, 0.214 mmol) in MeOH (1.5 mL) was added AcOH (0.154 g, 2.57 mmol), followed by 2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)acetaldehyde (0.039 g, 0.225 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Then, NaBH3CN (0.027 g, 0.428 mmol) in THF (0.6 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and stirring at room temperature was continued for 2 h. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc, poured into aq. NaHCO3 (10 mL) and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (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 (0.06 g, 68%) as a yellow solid. MS: 412.3 (M+H+).
