Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 2-chloro-5-(chloromethyl)pyridine (419 mg, 2.59 mmole) in 5 mL of dry acetonitrile is 512 mg (5.18 mmol) of azacycloheptane followed by 358 mg (2.59 mmol) of potassium carbonate. The reaction is heated at 80° C. for 20 h. After cooling, the reaction mixture is quenched with 5 mL of water, extracted three-times with methylene chloride, and dried over sodium sulfate. Concentration of the solvent provided an oil which was purified by silica gel chromatography to provide 340 mg (59% yield) of 1-(6-Chloro-pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-azepane.
