Sodium hydride → 1-(6-Chloro-3-pyridylmethyl)3,3-dimethyl-2-nitroguanidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 0.44g of 60% sodium hydride (in mineral oil) in 10ml of DMF was added 1.32g of N,N-dimethyl-N'-nitroguanidine during 20 minutes at room temperature. After stirring for 10 minutes, 1.62g of 2-chloro-5-(chloromethyl)pyridine was added to the mixture in 5 minutes, and stirred for 2 hours at room temperature and for 4 hours in an oil bath of 60° C. After filtering insoluble materials off, the filtrate was concentrated. The resulting residue was purified by a column chromatography [developing solvent: dichloromethane-ethyl acetate (5:1-3:1)] to obtain 0.82g of 1-(6-chloro-3-pyridylmethyl)-3,3-dimethyl-2nitroguanidine (Compound No. 6).
