Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

N,N-dimethylformamide (0.05 ml, 0.65 mmol) was added to a thionyl chloride solution (10 ml) of 5-chloro-6-hydroxynicotinic acid (1.0 g, 5.76 mmol), and stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere at 90° C. for 1 hour. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and with cooling with ice, N,N,N′-trimethylethane-1,2-diamine (2.32 ml, 17.3 mmol) was added to an N,N-dimethylformamide solution (10 ml) of the obtained residue, and stirred at room temperature for 3 minutes. Saturated saline water was added to the reaction solution, extracted with chloroform, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by amine-type silica gel column chromatography (Biotage NH, hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1 go 1:1) to obtain 5,6-dichloro-N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-N-methylnicotinamide (1.59 g, yield: 100%) as a colorless oil.
