2,4,6-Trimethylpyridine → N-(4-chlorobenzyl)-7-methyl-2-(4-morpholinylmethyl)-4-oxo-4,7-dihydrothieno(2,3-b)pyridine-5-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-7-methyl-4-oxo-4,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxamide (0.250 g) from Example No. 35 in DMF (14 mL) are added DMAP (13 mg), 2,4,6-collidine (0.23 mL), and methanesulfonyl chloride (0.13 mL). The reaction is stirred at rt for 1.5 h and then morpholine (0.60 mL, 6.9 mmol) is added. The reaction is stirred at rt for 18 h. The reaction mixture is poured into water (40 mL). The resulting off-white solid is filtered off and recrystallized from ethanol to yield 0.242 g (81%) of the title compound as an off-white, crystalline solid.
