2-(Pivaloylamino)pyridine → N-(3-isobutyrylpyridin-2-yl)pivalamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(pyridin-2-yl)pivalamide (3.20 g, 18.0 mmol), n-BuLi (15.00 mL, 2.1 eq.) and N-methoxy-N-methylisobutyramide (2.60 g, 1.1 eq) were reacted as outlined in Scheme 1 to give 3.10 g (69%) of N-(3-isobutyrylpyridin-2-yl)pivalamide. Spectroscopic data: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 1.21 (d, J=7.03 Hz, 6 H) 1.35 (s, 9 H) 3.55 (dt, J=13.70, 6.78 Hz, 1 H) 7.08 (dd, J=7.91, 4.69 Hz, 1 H) 8.19 (dd, J=8.20, 2.05 Hz, 1 H) 8.63 (dd, J=4.83, 1.90 Hz, 1 H) 11.51 (br. s., 1 H).
