Sodium hydride → HCID 86672285, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of sodium hydride (mineral oil 55% dispersion) (15.7 g, 0.360 mol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (362 ml) was added dropwise a solution of ethyl 6-tert-butoxycarbonylaminopyridin-2-carboxylate (see WO 2006/074884A) (81.2 g, 0.305 mol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (300 ml) over 20 minutes under ice cooling in an argon atmosphere, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. tert-Butyl bromoacetate (54.0 ml, 0.366 mol) was then added dropwise over 10 minutes under ice cooling, followed by further stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. After completion of the reaction, to the reaction solution was added an aqueous solution in which ammonium chloride (1.77 g, 33.0 mmol) was dissolved in water (300 ml), followed by extraction with toluene. The separated organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (eluent; hexane:ethyl acetate=9:1→4:1 (V/V)), and fractions containing the desired compound were concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound (108 g) as a pale yellow liquid. (Yield: 93%)
