2,6-Dimethylmorpholine → 2-(2,6-Dimethylmorpholin-4-yl)nicotinonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-fluoro-nicotinonitrile (1.06 g, 8.69 mmol) and 2,6-dimethyl-morpholine (1.0 g, 8.69 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) was heated at 110° C. for 10 min in a microwave reactor. The reaction mixture was concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography using hexanes:ethylacetate (2:1) to yield 0.37 g (40%) of product. MS (ESI4) m/z 218 (M+H)+;
