Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.0 g. (1.7 mmol) of diethyl N-[N-(2-pivaloylamino-4-hydroxypyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-6-ylmethyl)-4-aminomethylbenzoyl]-glutamate in 10 mL of 98% formic acid was added 0.35 g. (0.33 mL, 3.5 mmol) of acetic anhydride. The mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 1 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the solid dissolved in methylene chloride and extracted twice with a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate. The aqueous layers were back extracted with methylene chloride, and the organic layers combined and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to dryness to give a quantitative yield of diethyl N-[N-(2-pivaloylamino-4-hydroxypyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-6-ylmethyl)-N-formyl-4-aminomethylbenzoyl]-glutamate which can be employed for further processing without further purification; 1H NMR (Me2SO d6) delta 1.11-1.18 (m, 6H), 1.24 (s, 9H), 1.9-2.15 (m, 2H), 2.39-2.44 (m, 2H), 4.39-4.42 (m, 3H), 4.53-4.55 (m, 2H), 7.21-7.44 and 7.34-7.37 (m, 2H, AA'BB'), 7.76-7.78 and 7.81-7.84 (m, 2H, AA'BB'), 8.12 and 8.13 (s, 1H), 8.61-8.78 (m, 2H).
