Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-[3-methoxy-4-(5-nitropyridin-2-ylamino)phenyl]propionate (3.70 g, 11 mmol) in DMF (60 mL) were added under ice-cooling sodium hydride (60%, 490 mg, 12 mmol) and methyl iodide (0.77 mL, 12 mmol), and the resulting reaction solution was stirred for 2 hours gradually warming up to room temperature. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. To the residue was added ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine, and then dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated, to thereby yield 4.27 g of the title compound.
