Sodium Hydroxide → 4-aminopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylcarbamoyl)benzamide (example 53a) (360 mg, 1.35 mmol) and NaOH (2 N, 1.85 mL) in EtOH (5 mL) was stirred at 100° C. under nitrogen for half an hour. After cooling to room temperature, the clear reaction solution was filtered and the filtrate was carefully neutralized with 10% AcOH with vigorous stirring at 0° C. The resultant precipitate was collected by filtration, and washed with warm 20% EtOH in water to give the final product 4-aminopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(1H)-one (120 mg, 55%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ7.22 (dd, J=4.4 Hz, 4.8 Hz, 1H), 7.29 (dd, J=4.8 Hz, 1H), 8.24 (dd, J=2 Hz, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 8.59 (dd, J=2 Hz, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 8.66-8.71 (m, 2H), 8.70 (d, J=1.2 Hz, 1H). MS 162 (MH+).
