Benzylamine → HCID 178526799, 화합물

4-Chloro-3-nitro-6-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-2-ol (65.1 gm 268 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (350 mL) and stirred at room temperature under N2. Benzylamine (86.3 gm 805 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) was added drop wise over 30 minutes to give a bright yellow solution. The reaction was heated in an oil bath at 50° C. for 18 hours, (a solid formed during the reaction). The resulting mixture was then cooled to ambient temperature, diluted with diethyl ether (200 mL) and the resulting solid (benzylamine hydrochloride) was then filtered off. The filtrate was evaporated to low bulk under reduced pressure to give a thick yellow slurry. Added diethyl ether (300 mL) and filtered off the yellow solid, dried on the filter pad to give the benzylamine salt (96.5 gm). The desired product was liberated by partition of the solid between aqueous 2N HCl and dichloromethane and crystallization from ethyl acetate/n-pentane gave the title compound as a pale yellow solid (61.7 gm 73.4% yield).
