Alkylation of 6-methyl-2-propyl-3-pyridinol (I) with bromoester (II) in the presence of K2CO3 afforded the corresponding ether (III). Subsequent hydrolysis of the ester function of (III) by means of NaOH provided carboxylic acid (IV). This was activated by treatment with 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole and then condensed with 4-isopropylbenzenesulfonamide (V) to produce the target compound.
