Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl 2-{4-[(3-amino-2-chloro-6-methyl-4-pyridinyl)amino]phenyl]ethylcarbamate (step 2, 238 mg, 0.63 mmol), propionyl chloride (70 mg, 0.76 mmol) in toluene (4.6 ml) and dichloromethane (0.6 ml) was heated at reflux temperature for 1 h. After cooling, the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 ml) and washed with IN aqueous NaOH solution (30 ml×2) and brine (30 ml). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. The residue and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (5 mg, 0.026 mmol) in toluene (5.0 ml) was heated at reflux temperature for 16 h. After cooling, the mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (100 ml) and washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution (30 ml) and brine (30 ml). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. Purification by PTLC eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (1:1) to afford 90 mg (34%) of the title compound as a brown oil.
