1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → 2-chloro-6-methyl-N-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)nicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a similar manner to Step 1 of Example 137, 2-chloro-5-methylnicotinic acid (2.00 g, 11.7 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (40 mL), and the solution was treated with EDCI (3.35 g, 17.5 mmol), HOBT monohydrate (890 mg, 5.83 mmol) and cumylamine (3.40 mL, 23.3 mmol). The mixture was added with water. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration and dried under reduced pressure to obtain 2-chloro-6-methyl-N-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)nicotinamide (2.09 mg, yield 62%).
