Water → 2-[N,N-bis(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-3-methyl-5-(2,2,5-trimethyl-4,6-dioxo-[1,3]dioxan-5-ylmethyl)-pyridin

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-[N,N-bis(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)amino]-5-bromomethyl-3-methyl-pyridin (1.6 g, 4.0 mmol) was added to a solution of 2,2,5-trimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (630 mg, 4.0 mmol) and triethylamine (0.58 mL, 4.2 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (40 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight and water (100 mL) was added. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc, the combined organic phases washed with water and brine and dried. Concentration under reduced pressure gave crude 2-[N,N-bis(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-3-methyl-5-(2,2,5-trimethyl-4,6-dioxo-[1,3]dioxan-5-ylmethyl)-pyridin (2.06 g)
