2-Ethoxybenzoyl chloride → 3-(2-Ethoxybenzoylamino)-4-n-propylpridine-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Ethoxybenzoyl chloride (2.96 g, 0.016 mol) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 3-amino-4-n-propylpyridine-2-carboxamide (Preparation 6; 1.43 g, 0.008 mol) in pyridine (40 ml) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 4 hours and then the solvent evaporated under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (100 ml), the solution washed with saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution (100 ml) and the aqueous phase then washed with dichloromethane (2×25 ml). The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under vacuum, then the residue purified by chromatography on silica gel (15 g), using a methanol in dichloromethane elution gradient (0-3% methanol), followed by crystallization from ethyl acetate to give the product as a light brown solid (1.36 g, 60%), 129-131° C.
