Pyridine → Phenyl (5-cyano-4-(2-methoxyethoxy)pyridin-2-yl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Phenyl chloroformate (4.93 ml, 39.3 mmol) was added drop wise to a mixture of 6-amino-4-(2-methoxyethoxy)nicotinonitrile (intermediate 20, 3.45 g, 17.86 mmol) and pyridine (6.35 ml, 79 mmol) in THF (100 ml) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 h at room temperature and then partitioned between EtOAc and saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution, the organic layer washed with saturated brine, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated. The residue was triturated with EtOAc and the product obtained by filtration as a white solid. (UPLC-MS 7) tR 0.97; ESI-MS 314.3 [M+H]+.
