1,2-Dichloroethane → N-[2,2-diethoxy-2-(2-isobutyl-6-methyl-pyridin-4-yl)-ethyl]-2,6-dimethyl-isonicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,6-dimethyl-4-pyridine carboxylic acid hydrochloride (159 mg, 0.849 mmol) in DMF (6 mL), EDC (244 mg, 1.27 mmol) and HOBt (172 mg, 1.27 mmol) is added. The mixture is stirred at rt for 15 min before ethyl diisopropylamine (439 mg, 3.37 mmol) and a solution of 2,2-diethoxy-2-(2-isobutyl-6-methyl-pyridin-4-yl)-ethylamine dihydrochloride (300 mg, 0.849 mmol) in DMF (0.5 mL) is added. The mixture is stirred at rt for 4 h, diluted with EA (30 mL), and washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 (15 mL) and brine (15 mL). The org. extract is dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product is purified on prep. TLC plates with DCM containing 5% of methanol to give N-[2,2-diethoxy-2-(2-isobutyl-6-methyl-pyridin-4-yl)-ethyl]-2,6-dimethyl-isonicotinamide (444 mg) as a colourless resin; LC-MS: tR=0.89*, [M+1]+=414.11; 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 0.91 (d, J=6.5 Hz, 6H), 1.26 (t, J=6.8 Hz, 6H), 2.01-2.13 (m, 1H), 2.55 (s, 6H), 2.59 (s, 3H), 2.67 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 2H), 3.40-3.49 (m, 2H), 3.52-3.61 (m, 2H), 3.86 (d, J=5.5 Hz, 2H), 5.80 (s br, 1H), 7.04 (s, 2H), 7.10 (s, 1H), 7.16 (s, 1H).
