2-Chloro-3-nitropyridine → N-(1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)-3-nitropyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.64 g 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine and 1.37 g of 1-benzyl-piperidin-4-ylamine in 20 mL THF was added diisopropylethylamine. The reaction was refluxed for 6 hours. The reaction was cooled down, diluted with 50 mL of EtOAc and washed with 30 mL of saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution. After separating layers, the aqueous phase was extracted with 2×30 mL of EtOAc. The combined organic phases were washed with 15 mL of brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography eluting with 25% EtOAc in hexane, then 50% EtOAc in hexane and 100% EtOAc to give 823 mg of the title compound as a yellow solid.
