Potassium Carbonate → N-(4-chlorobenzyl)-7-propyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-4-oxo-4,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (0.91 g) and 1-iodopropane (0.64 mL) are added to a solution of N-(4-chlorobenzyl)-4-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxamide (2.0 g, prepared as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,239,142) in anhydrous DMF (60 mL). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The mixture is diluted with water (150 mL) and filtered. The resulting white powder is washed with water (15 mL) followed by diethyl ether (15 mL) and dried in a vacuum oven to afford 1.73 g of the title compound as a white solid Physical characteristics.
