2-(6-Methoxypyridin-2-yl)ethan-1-amine → HCID 178470231, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(6-methoxypyridin-2-yl)ethanamine (14.43 g, 94.81 mmol), 4N hydrogen chloride/CPME (26.1 mL, 104.29 mmol) and 47% ethyl glyoxylate/toluene solution (polymer form) (30.0 mL, 142.22 mmol) in EtOH (175 mL) was heated under reflux for 8 hr. To the reaction mixture were added 4N hydrogen chloride/CPME (26.1 mL, 104.29 mmol) and 47% ethyl glyoxylate/toluene solution (polymer form) (30.0 mL, 142.22 mmol), and the mixture was heated again under reflux for 16 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to half volume, and to the residue was added diethyl ether (ca. 150 mL). The precipitate was collected by filtration, and washed with EtOH/diethyl ether to give crude ethyl 2-hydroxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthyridine-5-carboxylate hydrochloride (20.01 g, 77 mmol, 82%) as an off-white powder.
