Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-[chloro(cyclohexyl)methyl]-2-methyl-5-phenylthiophene (909 mg) synthesized in Example 278 (6), methyl 5-amino-pyridine-2-carboxylate (438 mg), sodium iodide (863 mg) and N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) was added sodium carbonate (611 mg), and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. overnight. Saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added to quench the reaction, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (30-70% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give a pale-brown oil. To a mixture of the obtained oil, tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) and ethanol (10 mL) was added 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (10 mL), and the mixture was stirred with heating under reflux overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. 1N Hydrochloric acid (10 mL) was added to the residue, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was washed with diisopropyl ether to give the title compound (342 mg, 29%) as a white solid.
