2-Amino-2,3-dimethylbutanamide → 6-[(1-Carbamoyl-1,2-dimethylpropyl)carbamoyl]furo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-2,3-dimethylbutyramide (2.1 g, 0.016 mol) is added to a stirred suspension of furo[2,3-b]pyridine-5,6-dicarboxylic acid anhydride (3.0 g, 0.016 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (7.5 mL) and the mixture allowed to stir at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture is then stirred at 60° C. for one hour, cooled to room temperature, either added, and the solid filtered off and dried to give 5 g of 6-[(1-carbamoyl-1,2-dimethylpropyl)carbamoyl]furo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxylic acid mp 192°-196° C. (dec).
