1,2-Dimethoxyethane → Pyridine-2,3-dicarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Pyridine diamide 4 was prepared according to the general procedure described in Example 8 using 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine (0.011 mol), 2-chloro-N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)acetamide (0.033 mol), diisopropylethylamine (0.025 mol) and dimethoxyethane (25 mL). The product was isolated from the methylene chloride extraction of the acidic aqueous layer. The product was made basic by extraction of the methylene chloride solution with aqueous NaOH. The methylene chloride solution was concentrated, and the residue was distilled (150° C., 0.03 mm) to afford 3.7 g of pure product.
