Acetic Anhydride → 1-(4-(5-(3-(2-Methylpyridin-3-yloxy)-5-(pyridin-2-ylthio)pyridin-2-ylamino)-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl)ethanone

Reaction Steps

N-(3-(2-methylpyridin-3-yloxy)-5-(pyridin-2-ylthio)pyridin-2-yl)-3-(piperidin-4-yl)-1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-amine (29.52 g, 61.81 mmol) and triethylamine (21.54 ml, 154.5 mmol) were dissolved in THF (300 mL). Acetic anhydride (6.310 g, 61.81 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred for 90 minutes. Saturated sodium bicarbonate (200 mL) and water (400 mL) were added and the reaction mixture was extracted with dichloromethane and 10% methanol in dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in MeOH (˜75 mL) and let stand. The resultant solids were filtered and washed with cold methanol to give a first crop (22.3 g). The filtrate was concentrated and solids were redissolved in methanol (30 mL) and allowed to stand. The precipitated solids were filtered and washed to afford a second crop (4.3 g). The 2 crops were combined to afford 1-(4-(5-(3-(2-methylpyridin-3-yloxy)-5-(pyridin-2-ylthio)pyridin-2-ylamino)-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl)ethanone (26.7 g, 51.38 mmol, 83.13% yield).
