Potassium Carbonate → HCID 60197192, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-Methyl-N-(4-o-tolyl-6-(2,2,2-trifluoro-N-methylacetamido)pyridin-3-yl)-3,5-bis (trifluoromethyl)benzamide (70 mg, 0.12 mmol) was stirred in CH3OH (1.5 mL) with potassium carbonate (75 mg, 0.54 mmol) for 1 h. The reaction mixture was then filtered and all volatiles removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in EtOAc and washed twice with water and twice with brine. The aqueous phases were back-extracted twice with EtOAc and washed with brine. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4. Filtration followed by removal of volatiles under reduced pressure gave a waxy residue. N-Methyl-N-(6-methylamino-4-o-tolyl-pyridin-3-yl)-3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzamide was isolated from this residue by flash chromatography on silica gel (50-67% EtOAc in n-hexane) as a white foam (40 mg, 69%). MS (ESI): m/z=468.0 [M+H]+.
