Formaldehyde → N-(5-benzylthiophen-2-ylmethyl)-6-(methoxymethyl-amino)-nicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-amino-N-(5-benzylthiophen-2-ylmethyl)-nicotinamide described in Example A-144 (210 mg, 0.65 mmol) and 5,5-dimethylimidazo phospho-2,4-dione (92 mg, 0.71 mmol) in methanol (15 mL) was added an aqueous solution of 37% formaldehyde (2.5 mL) under reflux in three time, and the solution was stirred for 1 hour. NH silica gel was added to the reaction solution, the solvent was evaporated in vacuo for adsorption, purification was carried out by NH silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1, then ethyl acetate), and the title compound (210 mg, 0.57 mmol, 87.6%) was obtained as a white solid.
