N-Methylphenylethanolamine → N-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2-(((2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)(methyl)amino)methyl)-7-methyl-4-oxo-4,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To solution of N-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-7-methyl-4-oxo-4,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxamide (0.300 g) from Example No. 35 in DMF (17 mL) are added DMAP (16 mg), 2,4,6-collidine (0.27 mL), and methanesulfonyl chloride (0.16 mL). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 h and then α-(methylaminomethyl)benzyl alcohol (1.26 g) is added. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 18 h and is then poured into water (50 mL). The resulting off-white solid is filtered off and purified by column chromatography (CH2Cl2/methanol, 99/1; 97/3) to yield 0.261 g (63%) of the title compound as a pale yellow solid.
