Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 6-chloro-4-(isopropylamino)nicotinate (3.0 g, 12.4 mmol), O,N-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (35.0 g, 0.35 mol) in dioxane (10 mL) was heated at 180° C. for 6 h. After cooling to RT, the reaction mixture was neutralized with saturated Na2CO3 solution to pH 7-8. The aqueous mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The combined organics were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give ethyl 4-(isopropylamino)-6-(methoxy(methyl)amino)nicotinate (3.2 g, 97% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 8.48 (s, 1 H), 7.82 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1 H), 6.10 (s, 1 H), 4.22 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 2 H), 3.77 (m, 4H), 3.18 (s, 3 H), 1.27 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3 H), 1.20 (d, J=6.4 Hz, 6 H).
