Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

(R)-4-Chloro-N2-(1-methoxymethyl-propyl)-pyridine-2,3-diamine (0.24 g, 1.04 mmol) was dissolved in n-BuOH, followed by methyl pyruvate (1.07 g, 10.4 mmol) and the reaction was heated at 60° C. for 5 h, before heating at reflux overnight. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo and purified by column chromatography (20% EtOAc/hex) to yield 0.39 g, 100% of (R)-8-chloro-4-(1-methoxymethylpropyl)-2-methyl-4H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-3-one: MS (AP) m/z 281.74 [(M+H)+, 100].
