Ammonia → 2-Amino-4,6-diisopropoxy-nicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-4,6-diisopropoxy-nicotinic acid (1.48 g, 5.83 mmol) in THF (30 mL) were added EDCl (1.34 g, 6.99 mmol), HOBt (0.94 g, 6.99 mmol), NMM (0.70 g, 6.99 mmol) and liquid NH3 (10 mL). Then, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. Then, water (100 mL) was added and the products were extracted with ethyl acetate (2×200 mL). The combined organic phase was washed with water, then brine, and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. Removal of solvent gave crude 2-amino-4,6-diisopropoxy-nicotinamide as a yellow oil. Yield: 450 mg (26%, crude).
