Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 2-amino-5-nitropyridine (4.0 g, 28.8 mmol) in dichloromethane (15 ml) were added 176 mg (31.6 mmol) of 4-N,N'-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), 4.41 ml of triethylamine (31.6 mmol) and 2.16 ml (31.6 mmol) of acetyl chloride in turn, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. A 1 M aqueous solution of potassium carbonate was added to the mixed suspension to neutralize it. Extraction with chloroform was repeated three times, and the extract was dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed, and the residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (eluent: chloroform). Recrystallization from chloroform-hexane gave 2.14 g of the intended product as a flesh-colored powder (yield: 49%).
