Acetic Acid → 1-(6-(5-Bromo-1-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-ylamino)pyridin-3-yl)-4-methylpiperazin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(6-(5-bromo-1-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-ylamino)pyridin-3-yl)piperazin-2-one (332e) (500 mg, 1.32 mmol) in methanol (20 mL) was added Na(OAc)3BH (2.0 g, 13.2 mmol), formaldehyde (30% aq., 8 mL), and acetic acid (2.7 mL, 45 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 4 h. The pH of the reaction mixture was adjust to 11˜13 by adding NaOH (1M). It was then extracted with methylene chloride three times. The combined organic exact was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica-gel column eluting with 50:1 methylene chloride/methanol to afford 332f as a gray solid (312 mg, 60%). MS: [M+H]+ 393. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.61 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 8.17 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.88 (s, 1H), 7.45 (dd, J=9 Hz, 1H), 6.92 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 6.74 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H), 3.64 (m, 2H), 3.53 (s, 3H), 3.22 (s, 2H), 2.74 (m, 2H), 2.35 (s, 3H).
