Methylamine → 6-nitro-2,2-dimethyl-3-(methylamino)methyl-4-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-1-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-nitro-2,2-dimethyl-3-bromomethyl-4-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-1-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran (0.5 g, 1.27 mmol) and methylamine (40% in water, 1.1 ml, 1.397 mmol) in methanol (12 ml) was stirred at room temperature during four hours. The solvents were evaporated under reduced pressure, and water and ethyl acetate added to the residue. After stirring, the organic phase was separated and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in diethyl ether and precipitated with pentane, to give 0.31 g of 6-nitro-2,2-dimethyl-3-(methylamino)methyl-4-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-1-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran, m.p. 128° C.
