2-Amino-3-methylpyridine → HCID 20145010, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-amino-4-methyl-5-(2-bromoacetyl)thiazole hydrobromide (9.5 g) and 2-amino-3-methylpyridine (9.7 g) in dimethylacetamide (100 ml) was heated at 85° C. to 88° C. for 5 hours and the reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo. To the residue was added water and the resulting mixture was acidified to pH 0.8 with 10% hydrochloric acid. The acidified solution was treated with charcoal and filtered. The filtrate was washed with ethyl acetate. The aqueous solution was adjusted to pH 9.0 with aqueous potassium carbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was recrystallized from a mixture of ethyl acetate and tetrahydrofuran to give 2-(2-amino-4-methyl-5-thiazolyl)-8-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (1.6 g). mp 226° C. (dec.).
