Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-Oxo-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (44 g, 0.20 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) were successively added aniline (20 μL, 0.23 mmol), hydroxybenzotriazole (30 mg, 0.23 mmol), dimethylaminopyridine (27 mg, 0.23 mmol) and EDC (43 mg, 0.23 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with DCM containing 10% of MeOH to afford the title compound as a white solid (20 mg, 34% yield). MS (ES+) 291. δH (DMSO-d6) 7.2 (3H, m), 7.9 (1H, t), 8.5 (1H, d), 8.6 (2H, m), 9.3 (1H, s).
