Reaktionsschritte

Dissolve 3-fluoropyridine-N-oxide (1.0 g, 8.687 mmol) in anhydrous acetonitrile (100 mL). Add triethylamine (1.319 g, 1.82 mL, 13.031 mmol), trimethylsilylcyanide (3.447 g, 4.63 mL, 34.749 mmol) and heat the mixture to reflux overnight. Cool to ambient temperature and concentrate in vacuo. Dissolve the residue in EtOAc and wash with saturated aqueous NaHCO3. Dry the organic layer over Na2SO4, filter, and concentrate in vacuo. Purify by chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EtOAc (1:0 and 17:3) to give the desired intermediate as a solid (746 mg, 70%). GC-MS m/z: 122 (M+).
