Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)nicotinic acid (Maybridge, 188 mg, 1.00 mmol) in dimethylformamide (anhydrous, 5 mL) was added N-(3-methylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) (Aldrich, 192 mg, 1.00 mmol) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) hydrate (Fluka, 153 mg, 1.00 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 20 minutes. N′-Hydroxynicotinimidamide (137 mg, 1.0 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred for 6-10 hours, and then warmed to 140° C. for 2-4 hours. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature and triturated with water (10 mL). The precipitate was filtered and dried under vacuum to give the titled compound. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 6.34-6.44 (m, 2 H), 7.60-7.82 (m, 3 H), 8.50 (dt, J=8.1, 1.9 Hz, 1H), 8.71 (dd, J=2.5, 1.9 Hz, 1 H), 8.84 (dd, J=4.6, 1.5 Hz, 1 H), 9.21 (d, J=1.7 Hz, 1 H), 9.26 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1 H), 9.31 (d, J=1.7 Hz, 1 H) ppm; MS (DCI/NH3) m/z 290 (M+H)+.
