Water → [2-(1-Amino-cyclopropyl)-pyridin-4-ylmethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-cyano-pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (1.2 g, 5.1 mmol) in THF (100 mL) was added ethylmagnesium bromide (3 M, 3.3 mL, 10 mmol) and titanium isopropoxide (2.3 mL, 7.7 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. Water was added (5 mL) and the resulting solids filtered off. The organics were concentrated, then purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using 5-10% MeOH/CH2Cl2 to afford [2-(1-amino-cyclopropyl)-pyridin-4-ylmethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester as a solid, m/z 264.4 [M+1]+.
