Propionitrile → 2-(3-Chloropyridin-2-yl)propanenitrile

Temperatur

-78 °C

To a −78° C. solution of diisopropylamine (3.04 g, 4.28 mL, 30 mmol) was added n-butyl lithium (13.2 mL, 2.5M in hexane, 33 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 20 minutes at −78° C., followed by the addition of propionitrile (1.65 g, 2.15 mL, 30 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 50 minutes, followed by the slow addition of 2-bromo-3-chloropyridine (1.92 g, 10 mmol) in THF (10 mL). The reaction was then allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with two portions of diethyl ether. The combined organic phases were washed with brine, concentrated, and the residue chromatographed on silica gel eluting with 30% ethyl acetate-hexane to obtain the title compound (1.52 g, 91%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 8.59 (dd, J=1.5, 4.7, 1H), 8.02 (dd, J=1.5, 8.1, 1H), 7.48 (dd, J=4.7, 8.1, 1H), 4.73 (q, J=7.1, 1H), 1.59 (d, J=7.1, 3H). MS (DCI) m/z 167 (M+H)+.
