Water → Methyl N-(4-methylpyridin-3-yl)carbamate

참여 물질

반응 단계

At about 0° C., potassium tert-butoxide (47 g, 420 mmol, 3.00 equiv.) was added in several batches to a solution of 4-methylpyridin-3-amine (15 g, 139 mmol, 1.00 equiv.) in tetrahydrofuran (400 mL). After stifling the solution for about 30 minutes, dimethyl carbonate (18.8 g, 209 mmol, 1.50 equiv.) was then added. The solution was stirred at ambient temperature for about 16 hours and then water (100 mL) was added. Following standard extractive workup with ethyl acetate (3×200 mL), the crude product was purified by re-crystallization from ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:1) to give the title product as a pale yellow solid (17 g; yield=74%). LC-MS: m/z=167 (M+H)+.
