cf. C.A. 49, 12496a. Synthetic 2-(4,5-diethyl-2-pyridyl)-3-ethylindole and 4,5-diethylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid were identical with the appropriate degradation products of the Alstonia alkaloids and of corynantheine. Synthetic 3-ethyl-2-(5-ethyl-2-pyridyl)-5-methoxyindole did not appear to be identical with the degradation product from aricine. The 4-ethyl derivative of this was also synthesized. Adding 54 cc. 30% H2O2 to 86 g. 5-ethyl-2-methylpyridine in 250 cc. HOAc, after 5 hrs. at 70°, adding 40 cc. 30% H2O2 and keeping at 70-80° 15 hrs. gave a solution which on concentration in vacuo to 100 cc., addition of 100 cc. H2O and evaporation almost to dryness gave a residue which on basification (Na2CO3) and CHCl3 extraction afforded 52 g. 5-ethyl-2-methylpyridine N-oxide (I), b2 124-8°; picrate, m. 107-8°. Dropwise addition of a solution of 52 g. I in 98 cc. H2SO4 to a stirred mixture of 156 cc. H2SO4 and 175 cc. HNO3 (d. 1.2) at room temperature, followed by heating to 90-100° 3 hrs., cooling, and adding dropwise to stirred ice-NH4OH (d. 0.880) yielded 48 g. 5-ethyl-2-methyl-4-nitropyridine N-oxide, m. 80°. A solution of 10 g. of this in 50 cc. C6H6 on dropwise addition of 50 cc. PBr3 followed by refluxing 7 hrs. on a 125-40° bath gave a product which poured on ice, followed by basification (10% NaOH) and CHCl3 extraction gave 6.6 g. 4-bromo-5-ethyl-2-methylpyridine (II), b20 105-10°; picrate, m. 141-2° (decomposition); methiodide, m. 167-9°. Addition to a solution of 20 g. CuCN and 46 g. KCN in 180 cc. H2O of 28 g. II in 120 cc. EtOH followed by heating (autoclave, 180-200°, 4 hrs.), adjustment (concentrated HCl) to pH 4, removal of CuCN, evaporation to dryness, and drying by evaporation 3 times with EtOH gave a solid which on solution in 100 cc. EtOH, saturation with dry HCl, keeping overnight followed by 4 hrs. refluxing, removal of EtOH, basification and extraction afforded 12.15 g. Et 5-ethyl-2-methylpyridine-4-carboxylate (III), b2 112-15°; picrate, m. 129-30° (Berson and Cohen, C.A. 50, 9405i). Hydrolysis (20% KOH, reflux 90 min.) of III followed by adjustment to pH 4 gave by Et2O extraction the free acid, m. 226-8°, after purification by sublimation (140°/0.1 mm.). Addition of 12.5 g. III and 32 cc. EtOAc to KOEt (from 6.3 g. K) in C6H6 followed by 12 hrs. refluxing and addition of 140 cc. H2O gave a solution which after Et2O washing (to remove uncondensed ester), addition of 280 cc. concentrated HCl, heating overnight on a water-bath, evaporation to dryness, basification and Et2O extraction yielded 7.3 g. 4-acetyl-5-ethyl-2-methylpyridine (IV), b20 114-18°; picrate, m. 132-4°; oxime, m. 107°. Clemmensen reduction of 7.3 g. IV gave 4.3 g. 4,5-diethyl-2-methylpyridine (V), prepared by Kao and Robinson (C.A. 50, 5620b); styphnate, m. 155-6°. The residue from the working up contained 5-ethyl-4-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2-methylpyridine, b0.1 100-5° (picrate, m. 137-9°); reduction (HIP) of this base gave V. On refluxing 70 hrs. 4.3 g. V with 11 cc. BzH and 11 cc. Ac2O in 12 cc. xylene followed by acidification (17% HCl to Congo red), removal (steam distillation) of BzH, basification (NaOH), and CHCl3 extraction gave 1 g. unchanged V and 4.3 g. 4,5-diethyl-2-styrylpyridine (VI), picrate, m. 241-3° (decompose) (cf. K. and R., loc. cit.). Oxidation of 2 g. VI in Me2CO at 0° by the addition of 7 g. KMnO4 followed by 1 hr. stirring, removal and washing (Me2CO and H2O) of MnO2, and extraction of BzOH, gave on continuous Et2O extraction of the aqueous liquor at pH 4 0.6 g. 4,5-diethylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid (VII), m. 147-8°, λmaximum 2680 and 2300 A. (log ε 3.61 and 3.90 resp.), λmin. 2520 A. (log. ε 3.44), identical by mixed m.p. with acid of natural origin. Demethylation (Cu powder) of VII gave 4,5-diethylpyridine, identified as the picrate. VII (0.6 g.) on esterification (10 cc. EtOH and dry HCl at 0°, standing overnight and then refluxing for 2 hrs.) gave 0.6 g. Et ester (VIII), b3 140-5°; picrate, m. 88-90°. VIII (0.5 g.) with 5 cc. NH4OH (d. 0.880) 48 hrs. (room temperature) followed by 2 hrs. stirring yielded 2-carbamoyl-4,5-diethylpyridine (VIIIa), subliming at 100-20°/0.1 mm., m. 177-8°. Dehydration (1 cc. POCl3, reflux 2 hrs.) of 0.4 g. VIIIa gave on working up 0.2 g. 2-cyano-4,5-diethylpyridine, b20 150-60°, which (1.3 g.) in 75 cc. EtOH added with stirring to PrMgBr (from 0.6 g. Mg and 2.7 g. PrBr in 15 cc. Et2O), and the mixture refluxed 3 hrs. and decomposed (30 cc. saturated NH4Cl and 5 cc. concentrated HCl) afforded on basification and Et2O extraction 1.2 g. 2-butyryl-4,5-diethylpyridine (IX), b3 142-6°; picrate, m. 97-8°; phenylhydrazone picrate, m. 211-12°; p-methoxyphenylhydrazone picrate, m. 160-1°. On heating 0.334 g. IX with 0.18 g. PhNHNH2 in vacuo on a steam bath 2 hrs., the product, on solution in 20 cc. EtOH, cooling in ice, keeping at room temperature 1 hr. followed by refluxing 2 hrs., gave on evaporation, basification, and Et2O extraction 0.3 g. 2-(4,5-diethyl-2-pyridyl)-3-ethylindole (X), b0.4 200-10°, m. 110-1°, identical by mixed m.p. with alstyrine from alkaloidal degradation, λmaximum 3250 A. (log ε 4.36), and λmin. 2740 A. log ε 3.63; picrate, m. 218-21°; hydrochloride, softened at 190° and melted completely at 203°. As in the synthesis from VI above, starting from 4 g. ethyl 5-ethylpyridine-2-carboxylate there were obtained: 3 g. 2-carbamoyl-5-ethylpyridine, m. 147-8°; 1.7 g. 2-cyano-5-ethylpyridine, b20 132°; 1.3 g. 2-butyryl-5-ethylpyridine (XI) (p-methoxyphenylhydrazone picrate, m. 176-7°). XI with p-MeOC6H4NHNH2 yielded 3-ethyl-2-(5-ethyl-2-pyridyl)-5-methoxyindole (XII), m. 111-12°, λmaximum 3320 A. (log ε 4.49), λmin. 2720 A. (log ε 3.36); picrate, m. 201-3°. Similarly X with p-MeOC6H4NHNH2 gave 2-(4,5-diethyl-2-pyridyl)-3-ethyl-5-methoxyindole (XIII), b0.1 200-20°, m. 148°, λmaximum 3290 A. (log ε 4.43), λmin. 2730 A. (log ε 3.67); picrate, m. 225° (decomposition). Neither XII or XIII were identical with the degradation product from aricine (Goutarel, et al., C.A. 50, 5687g). The experimental process involved the reaction of 4-Bromo-5-ethyl-2-methylpyridine(cas: 98488-99-4).Recommanded Product: 98488-99-4
4-Bromo-5-ethyl-2-methylpyridine(cas:98488-99-4) belongs to pyridine-derivatives. Several pyridine derivatives play important roles in biological systems. While its biosynthesis is not fully understood, nicotinic acid (vitamin B3) occurs in some bacteria, fungi, and mammals.Recommanded Product: 98488-99-4
