Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of N-benzyl-5-(4-hydroxy-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)-3-methylthiophene-2-carboxamide (0.20 g, 0.59 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (4 mL) at ambient temperature was added potassium carbonate (0.082 g, 0.59 mmol), followed by the addition of 2-cyclopropylethyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (0.13 g, 0.59 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 2 hours, and then allowed to cool to ambient temperature and partitioned between ethyl acetate (50 mL) and water (25 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (25 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with 40% ethyl acetate in hexanes to afford the title compound as a colorless solid (0.14 g, 58%): mp 134-136° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.52 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.36-7.27 (m, 5H), 6.83 (s, 1H), 6.18 (t, J=5.6 Hz, 1H), 6.06 (dd, J=7.8, 2.6 Hz, 1H), 5.95 (d, J=2.7 Hz, 1H), 4.58 (d, J=5.6 Hz, 2H), 4.02 (t, J=6.6 Hz, 2H), 2.53 (s, 3H), 1.72-1.64 (m, 2H), 0.89-0.73 (m, 1H), 0.55-0.45 (m, 2H), 0.15-0.08 (m, 2H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ 167.2, 162.9, 162.3, 139.7, 139.6, 138.0, 134.3, 128.7, 127.8, 127.5, 126.9, 121.9, 103.4, 97.4, 68.8, 43.9, 33.6, 15.9, 7.6, 4.2; MS (ES+) m/z 409.3 (M+1).
