Triethylamine → tert-Butyl 3-[4-methyl-6-(4-oxo-4H-1,3-benzothiazin-2-yl)-2-pyridyl]propanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 3-(6-cyano-4-methyl-2-pyridyl)propanoate (0.72 g, 2.9 mmol) and methyl thiosalicylate (0.99 g, 5.9 mmol) were dissolved in toluene (4 ml), and triethylamine (2.0 ml, 14.3 mmol) was added thereto. The mixture was refluxed for 14 hrs. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was subjected to a silica gel column chromatography. The fractions eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:2, v/v) were collected, concentrated and recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to give the titled compound (0.61 g, 54%) as white crystals.
