1,3-DI-Boc-2-methylisothiourea → HCID 178432665, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-methyl-5-(1,3,3-trimethylpiperidin-4-yl)pyridine-3-amine (0.814 g, 3.49 mmol) in DCM (50 mL) were added 1,3-bis(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-methyl-2-thiopseudourea (1.52 g, 5.23 mmol), mercury (II) chloride (1.42 g, 5.23 mmol) and TEA (2.92 mL, 20.9 mmol). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir overnight at rt then filtered through a Celite® pad and washed with DCM. The filtrate was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to give di-tert-butyl((Z)-{[2-methyl-5-(1,3,3-trimethylpiperidin-4-yl)pyridine-3-yl]amino}methylylidene)biscarbamate (0.79 g, 48%) as a white solid. LCMS (FAL): Rt=5.08 min, m/z=476.6 (M+H).
