4-Methylmorpholine → HCID 59753639, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-cyano-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (Preparation 62, 0.035 g, 0.19 mmol) in THF (15 mL) under argon was added 2-aminoacetophenone hydrochloride (0.036 g, 0.21 mmol), N-methylmorpholine (25 μM, 0.23 mmol) and DMTMM (0.072 g, 0.27 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 16 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate (100 mL) and water (50 mL). The organic phase was separated and the aqueous phase was further extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL). The combined organic extract was washed with 1N NaOH (40 mL), saturated sodium chloride (40 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Crude material was purified by chromatography in hexane/ethyl acetate (1:2) and recrystallised from methanol to give the title compound. m/z (ES+)=304 [M+H]+; RT=4.37.
