Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 2-aminophenol (300 mg, 2.75 mmol), methyl 2,2,2-trimethoxyacetate (902 mg, 5.50 mmol), and ytterbium triflate (170 mg, 0.28 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) was heated to reflux. After 5 h, the mixture was cooled, and the precipitate was collected and dried. The crude solid was suspended in toluene (5 mL), and N-methylpiperazine (1.5 mL, 13.7 mmol) was added followed by 2-hydroxypyridine (26 mg, 0.28 mmol). The mixture was heated to 125° C. in a sealed tube for 4 h. The resulting yellow solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified on silica gel (12 g; 2% methanol/dichloromethane), yielding 320 mg (48%) of the title compound. MS (ESI): mass calculated for C13H15N3O2, 245.12; m/z found, 246.1 [M+H]+. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 7.83-7.79 (m, 1H), 7.66-7.65 (m, 2H), 7.47-7.41 (m, 2H), 4.19 (t, J=5.1 Hz, 4H), 3.88 (t, J=5.1 Hz, 4H), 2.55-2.52 (m, 4H), 2.35 (s, 3H). 13C NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 156.1, 154.6, 149.9, 140.1, 127.1, 125.3, 121.3, 111.5, 55.3, 54.6, 46.9, 45.9, 42.8.
