Cesium carbonate → HCID 59202007, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

174 mg (0.83 mmol) of N-[(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl]-N′-cyanoethanimidamide are stirred into 5 ml of acetonitrile, and 543 mg (1.67 mmol) of cesium carbonate, 166 mg (0.88 mmol) of 3-bromo-1,1-dichloroprop-1-ene and 22 mg (0.08 mmol) of cesium iodide are added successively. The reaction mixture is then stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure and then taken up in ethyl acetate, washed successively with 1 N aqueous hydrochloric acid, 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and saturated sodium chloride solution and dried over sodium sulphate. Concentration of the organic phase under reduced pressure and purification of the residue by column chromatography on silica gel using the mobile phase mixture ethyl acetate:cyclohexane (2:1) gives 215 mg (77% of theory) of N-[(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl]-N′-cyano-N-(3,3-dichloroprop-2-en-1-yl)ethanimidamide
