1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → 2-bromo-N-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)nicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a similar manner to Step 1 of Example 137, 2-bromonicotinic acid (2.42 g, 12.0 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (48 mL), and the solution was treated with EDCI (3.45 g, 18.0 mmol), HOBT monohydrate (917 mg, 5.99 mmol) and cumylamine (3.40 mL, 24.0 mmol), followed by purification by flash column chromatography (chloroform/methanol=100/1 to 98/2) to obtain 2-bromo-N-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)nicotinamide (2.91 g, yield 76%).
