Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of ethyl (3-amino-6-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridyl)acetate (0.55 g, 2.6 mmole) and 2,4,6-collidine (1.2 mL, 5.2 mmole) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) is cooled in an ice bath. A solution of benzylsulfonyl chloride (0.50 g, 2.6 mmole) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) is added over a 15 minute period. After addition is complete, the solution is stirred for 30 minutes at 0° C. The reaction mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL), washed with 1.0N HCl (until aqueous layer is pH 1), water (10 mL), saturated sodium bicarbonate (10 mL), and brine (2×10 mL). The organic layer is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent is removed. The residue is chromatographed through silica gel using 0:100-20:80 ethyl acetate:dichloromethane as eluent to afford the title compound.
