Sodium Hydroxide → 3-(2-Dimethylaminoethylcarbamoyl)-2-methyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-6-phenylpyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-methyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-6-phenyl-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid (1.98 g), methylene chloride (20 ml) and N,N-dimethylformamide (4 ml) was added a solution of thionyl chloride (0.47 ml) in methylene chloride (2 ml) at 7° C. under ice cooling. After stirring for 2.5 hours at the same condition, a solution of 2-dimethylaminoethylamine (1.3 g), in methylene chloride (20 ml) was added thereto and stirred for 2 hours at the same temperature. After adding water (150 ml) and methylene chloride (150 ml) thereto, the mixture was adjusted to pH 9.0 with 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide. The organic layer was separated, washed successively with water and saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was subjected to a column chromatography on alumina (70 g) and eluted with chloroform. The fractions containing- the object compound were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from diethyl ether to give 3-(2-dimethylaminoethylcarbamoyl)-2-methyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-6-phenylpyridine (0.88 g).
