Iodine → Ethyl 2-(6-chloro-4-(isopropylamino)pyridin-3-yl)-5-methyloxazole-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of ethyl 2-(6-chloro-4-(isopropylamino)nicotinamido)-3-oxobutanoate (27a) (200 mg, 0.58 mmol) in DCM (10 mL), triphenyl phosphine (2 equiv.), iodine (2 equiv.) and triethyl amine (3 equiv.) were added and stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The reaction mixture was diluted using DCM and washed with water. The organic layer was collected, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude material obtained was purified by column chromatography using silica gel and EtOAc:Pet. Ether as eluent to obtain the title compound, ethyl 2-(6-chloro-4-(isopropylamino)pyridin-3-yl)-5-methyloxazole-4-carboxylate. 1H NMR: 400 MHz, DMSO-d6: δ 1.25 (d, J=6.40 Hz, 6H), 1.33 (t, J=7.20 Hz, 3H), 2.67 (s, 3H), 3.90-3.95 (m, 1H), 4.31 (q, J=7.20 Hz, 2H), 6.89 (s, 1H), 8.47 (d, J=7.60 Hz, 1H), 8.54 (s, 1H).
