Reaction Steps

Crude N2-(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)-6-(methyloxy)-2,3-pyridinediamine (123.6 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous DMF (500 ml) under argon and anhydrous K2CO3 (37.56 g) was added, followed by ethyl bromoacetate (12.31 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the resulting reddish-brown slurry was partitioned between DCM (1.2 L) and water (300 ml). The organic phase was separated and washed with water (300 ml), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to give a dark red oil, this was taken up in a minimum of DCM and purified by column chromatography on silica (eluted with 5%-60% EtOAc in petroleum ether (40-60°)). Appropriate fractions were combined and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound as a dark orange oil (35.42 g, 84%).
