2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylpyridine → HCID 69943982, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-N-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-(2-hydroxy-1-methylethylamino)-5-nitrobenzamide (200 mg) in 1,2-dichloroethane (10 mL) were added trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate (91.2 mg) and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylpyridine (158 mg), and the mixture was heated for 3 hours under reflux. The mixture was washed with 1N-hydrochloric acid, water, an aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and brine. Then, the resultant was dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography eluting with a mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate (3:1 to 1:1). The obtained product was triturated with diisopropyl ether to give (R)-N-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-(2-methoxy-1-methylethylamino)-5-nitrobenzamide as yellow powders (145 mg).
