Diethyl Pyrocarbonate → Tert-butyl 4-({[(5-amino-6-chloro-2-ethylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-8-yl)carbonyl]amino}methyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-amino-6-chloro-2-ethylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-8-carboxylic acid (Example 4, Step 2, 10.00 g, 41.72 mmol), tert-butyl 4-(aminomethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (J. Prugh, L. A. Birchenough and M. S. Egbertson, Synth. Commun., 1992, 22, 2357-60, 15.20 g, 70.93 mmol), DEPC (10.76 mL, 70.93 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (18.17 mL, 104.4 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (267 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 43 h. The solvent was removed by evaporation. The residue was basified with aqueous sodium bicarbonate (40 mL), and extracted with dichloromethane (5×100 mL). The combined extract was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography of the residue eluting with dichloromethane/methanol (100:1 to 20:1) afforded 19.08 g (90%) of the title compound as a yellow oil.
