Isopropylamine → 4H-Pyrido(1,2-a)pyrimidine-3-carboxamide, 6-methyl-N-(1-methylethyl)-4-oxo-

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture containing 16.32 g (0.08 mol) of 6-methyl-4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylic acid and 12.4 ml (0.088 mole) of triethylamine in 480 ml of chloroform is cooled below -10° C. by ice-salt. A solution of 6.5 ml (0.08 mol) of methyl chloroformate in 40 ml of chloroform is dropped to the above mixture at a temperature between -12° C. and -16° C. during 30 minutes. After stirring for 5 minutes, 5.2 g (0.088 mol) of isopropylamine dissolved in 80 ml of chloroform are dropped to the above solution at -15° C. during 40 minutes, then the mixture is stirred for 1 hour at the same temperature and thereafter maintained under cooling by ice.
