Triethylamine → tert-Butyl 2-(6-chloronicotinamido)phenylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To solution of (2-amino-phenyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (22) (Seto, C. T.; Mathias, J. P.; Whitesides, G. M.; J. Amer. Chem. Soc., (1993), 115, 1321-1329.) (1.56 g, 7.49 mmol) in MeCN (40 mL) is added triethylamine (2.60 mL, 18.7 mmol) and 6-chloronicotinic acid (1.42 g 8.99 mmol). The mixture is stirred for 18 h at r.t. Upon completion of the reaction, the solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue is partitioned between EtOAc and an NH4Cl solution. The organic phase is collected and the aqueous layer is then extracted with EtOAc; the combined organic layers are washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated. The residue is purified by flash chromatography using EtOAc/Hexane (a gradient of 20:80 to 50:50) as an eluent, to afford the title compound 94 (2.39 g, 92% yield). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ(ppm): 10.01 (s, 1H), 8.96 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 8.71 (s, 1H), 8.35 (dd, J=8.4, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.73 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.62 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.48 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.22 (td, J=7.8, 1.4 Hz, 1H), 7.13 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 1.44 (s, 9H). LRMS (ESI): (calc) 347.10 (found) 370.1 (M+Na+).
