6-Fluoropyridine-2-carboxaldehyde → (E)-2-Cyano-3-(6-fluoropyridin-2-yl)-N-(1-(4-(2-morpholinoethoxy)phenyl)butyl)acrylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared by using a similar procedure as described for the preparation of 33 except that 6-fluoropicolinaldehyde was used instead of 6-bromopicolinaldehyde, and 2-cyano-N-(1-(4-(2-morpholinoethoxy)phenyl)butyl)acetamide (32) was used instead of 2-cyano-N-(1-(4-(2-(diethylamino)ethoxy)phenyl)butyl)acetamide (29). This produced the crude product which was purified by flash silica gel column chromatography, eluting with 4:96 methanol/dichloromethane, to give 37 (130 mg, 77%) as a light yellow oil: MS (ES+) m/z 453.2 (M+H)+.
