Potassium tert-butoxide → HCID 56956279, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(dimethylamino)-1-(2-methyl-3-furanyl)-2-(4-pyridinyl)-2-propen-1-one (256 mg, 1 mmol) and 3-methyl-1-piperidinecarboximidamide hydrochloride (267 mg, 1.500 mmol) in ethanol (5 ml) was stirred at room temperature. Potassium tert-butoxide (224 mg, 2.000 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated at reflux for 45 minutes. After cooling to room temperature the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were combined, washed with water and brine, dried and evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 25-50% ethyl acetate and isohexane to give 4-(2-methyl-3-furanyl)-2-(3-methyl-1-piperidinyl)-5-(4-pyridinyl)pyrimidine (195 mg, 58%). A solution of 4-(2-methyl-3-furanyl)-2-(3-methyl-1-piperidinyl)-5-(4-pyridinyl)pyrimidine (167 mg, 0.5 mmol) in dichloromethane (1 ml) was treated with hydrogen chloride (1M in diethyl ether, 0.6 ml). The solvent was evaporated and the residue co-evaporated with diethyl ether (×2). The residue was triturated with diethyl ether and the resulting solid was collected, washed with diethyl ether and dried to give the title compound as a yellow solid (121 mg, 65%).
