Participants

Reaction Steps

(E)-Ethyl 3-(4-amino-6-bromopyridin-3-yl)acrylate (Preparation 68, 1.20 g 4.43 mmole) and sodium methanethiolate (320 mg 4.57 mmole) in ethanol (12 mL) were heated under microwave radiation at 80° C. for 25 minutes. Iodomethane (284 uL, 648 mg, 4.56 mmole) was added to the cooled reaction and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 45 minutes before diluting with water (6 mL). The resulting precipitate was collected, washed with water and dried under high vacuum to afford the title compound (803 mg, 80%).
