To a solution of tert-butyl 4-methylpyridin-2-ylcarbamate (0.75 g, 3.6 mmol) in dry DMF (11 ml) was added under an argon-atmosphere sodium hydride (0.18 g, 4.5 mmol, 60% oil dispersion) at 273 K in such a manner that the temperature was kept below 278 K. The reaction mixture was kept at 273 K for 20 min followed by the addition of benzyl bromide (0.71 g, 4.1 mmol) at the same temperature. After additional stirring at 273 K for 30 min the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature within 1 h, after which water and ethyl acetate were added. The organic layer was washed subsequently with HCl (0.1 M), sodium bicarbonate and brine, dried (sodium sulfate) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash-chromatography (silica gel, n-hexane/ethyl acetate 3:1) to yield 0.60 g (56%) of I as a colourless solid (Koch et al. 2008). Recrystallization from hot n-hexane/ethyl acetate afforded colourless crystals.
Hydrogen atoms attached to carbons were placed at calculated positions with C—H = 0.95 Å (aromatic) or 0.98–0.99 Å (sp3 C-atom). All H atoms were refined in the riding-model approximation with isotropic displacement parameters (set at 1.2–1.5 times of the Ueq of the parent atom).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

N-Benzyl-2-aminopyridin-4-yl derivatives can be found in different p38 MAP kinase inhibitors, like the imidazolopyridines (Laufer & Koch 2008; Koch et al. 2008), thiazolopyridines (Miwatashi et al. 2005) or pyrazolopyridines (Stevens et al. 2005) and in histamine H2-receptor antagonists (Lipinski et al. 1985).
The title compound, tert-butyl N-benzyl-N-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)carbamate (I), was obtaineded as an intermediate in the synthesis of 2-alkylsulfanyl-5-(2-aminopyridin-4-yl)-4-(4-fluorophenyl)imidazoles as potent p38 MAP kinase inhibitors (Laufer & Koch 2008; Koch et al. 2008).
In the crystal structure of the title compound I the pyridine ring makes dihedral angles of 83.71 (6)° and 9.2 (1)° to the phenyl ring and the carbamate plane, respectively. The phenyl ring and the carbamate plane are nearly perpendicular to one another with a dihedral angle of 87.17 (7)°. The N1—C2 bond [1.383 (2) Å] of the carbamte function is shorter than the normal N1—C16-bond [1.475 (2) Å] to the benzyl moiety, indicating the partial double bond character of the amide bond of the carbamate.
