Sources of common compounds: Diethyl 2,6-dimethylpyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route,1149-24-2, its application will become more common.

Reference of 1149-24-2, Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps,and cheap raw materials. 1149-24-2, name is Diethyl 2,6-dimethylpyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate. A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below.

General procedure: To a mixture of ethyl acetoacetate or methyl acetoacetate (1 eqv), formaldehyde (1.1 eqv) and NH4OAc (1.5 eqv) in acetic acid (3 mL) was added FeWO4 (20 mol%) at room temperature and the mixture was heated at 80 C for 2 h (monitoring by TLC) to give poly-substituted pyridine (3), to this solution isatin (1 eqv) was added and heating continued at same temperature for 3 h (monitoring by TLC). After that the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature neutralized with sodium bicarbonate and extracted with EtOAc (2 × 10 mL). The organic layers were washed with brine, dried using sodium sulphate .Evaporation of the solvent gave the crude product which was purified by silica gel column chromatography. Elution of the column with petroleum ether-EtOAc gave the desired product.

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route,1149-24-2, its application will become more common.
