Extended knowledge of 2-Methylnicotinamide

At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound,58539-65-4, 2-Methylnicotinamide, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.

With the rapid development and complex challenges of chemical substances, the synthesis of new drugs is usually one of the most effective ways to increase yield.58539-65-4, name is 2-Methylnicotinamide, molecular formula is C7H8N2O, molecular weight is 136.1512, as common compound, the synthetic route is as follows.HPLC of Formula: C7H8N2O

Example 5 7-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)-1,6-naphthyridin-5(6H)-one I chloride (1.90 mL, 21.8 mmol) was added to 2-methyl nicotinic acid (1.50 g, 10.9 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (20 mL) with triethylamine (1.6 mL, 11.5 mmol) and the reaction mixture was kept at room temperature overnight before the solvent was removed. THF was added to the residue and ammonia gas was bubbled through for 2 h. The THF was removed and the residue was dissolved into methanol and water and the pH was adjusted to 10.0 with potassium carbonate. The mixture was concentrated. After column chromatography the desired amide was isolated (1.10 g, 73.8%). NaH (0.428 g, 10.7 mmol, 60% in mineral oil) was added to 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzonitrile (1.50 g, 10 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (8 mL). Benzyl bromide (1.83 g, 10.7 mmol) was added and the reaction was kept at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into water. The isolated solid was further washed with hexane to yield the desired ether building block (2.0 g, 84.3%). It was used in the next reaction without further purification. The above amide (0.65 g, 4.77 mmol) in anhydrous THF (15 mL) was added drop-wise to BuLi (7.5 mL, 1.60 M) at -20 C. The reaction mixture was kept at this temperature for 1 h and then the above ether building block (1.13 g, 4.77 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was added drop-wise at -20 C. and the reaction was stirred for 1.5 h. The reaction temperature was increased to room temperature and continued for a further 1 h. Water (20 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred for a while before the solvent was removed and the residue was purified by column chromatography to yield the desired intermediate (0.50 g, 29.4%). A 50 mL flask was charged with the above described intermediate (0.50 g, 0.0014 mol) and pyridine hydrogen chloride (2.4 g, 0.014 mol) and the mixture was heated to 180 C. for 1.5 h. The mixture was cooled and poured into methanol (4 mL), then filtered. The collected solid was further washed with ethyl acetate and dried to give 7-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)-1,6-naphthyridin-5(6H)-one (350 mg, 82.7%) as an HCl salt. Selected data: MS (ES) m/z: 266; MP >350 C.
