Trimethylsilyldiazomethane → HCID 86618786, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A slurry of 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(4-cyano-2,6-difluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)pyridine-2-carboxlic acid in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) and methanol (3 mL) was treated with trimethylsilyldiazomethane (0.64 g, 0.28 mL of a 2M solution in hexanes) at ambient temperature. After 1 hour the reaction mixture was quenched with acetic acid (2 mL) and water (10 mL). The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 mL) and the combined extracts dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography (30-100% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to give 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(4-cyano-2,6-difluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid, methyl ester (0.083 g, 0.24 mmol): 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.15 (dd, 1H), 6.85 (s, 1H), 4.98 (bs, 2H), 4.08 (d, 3h), 3.98 (s, 3H).
