Benzylamine → 1-Ethyl-2-oxo-5,6-dimethyl-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid benzylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Ethyl-3-carboxy-5,6-dimethyl-2-pyridone (3-003-04) (195 mg) was dissolved in DMF (3 mL), and to the reaction mixture were added benzylamine (0.17 mL), diisopropylethylamine (0.35 mL), and benzotriazol-1-yloxytripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP, 624 mg), and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed twice with hydrochloric acid and aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, respectively, and water, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue (0.40 g) was subjected to silica gel (30 g) column chromatography (chloroform) to give 1-ethyl-2-oxo-5,6-dimethyl-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid benzylamide (3-003) (259 mg, 91.1%) as a crystal, followed by recrystallization from methylene/n-hexane to give colorless needle crystal (207 mg, 72.9%, m.p. 117° C.) Examples 3-001 to 3-036 were synthesized in similar manner as Example 3-004.
