Methylamine → HCID 9794517, compound

Temperature

100 °C

Crude 5-(3-chloropropoxy)-3-isopropoxypyridine (0.92 g, 4.01 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (10 mL) and added to a 40 wt % aqueous solution of methylamine (10 mL) in a heavy-walled glass pressure-tube apparatus. The tube was sealed and the mixture was stirred and heated at 100° C. (oil bath temperature) for 4 h. After cooling, the solution was concentrated by rotary evaporation. Saturated NaCl solution (50 mL) was added, and the mixture was basified with 10% NaOH solution to pH 11. The mixture was extracted with ether (4×50 mL). The combined ether extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated by rotary evaporation to give 1.98 g of a brown oil. The product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (60 g) eluting with hexane to remove impurities, followed by CHCl3—CH3OH-Et3N (50:50:2, v/v/v) to collect the product. Selected fractions containing the product were combined and concentrated by rotary evaporation. The resulting brown oil was dissolved in CHCl3 (25 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated by rotary evaporation to give 0.64 g (71.6%) of a brown oil.
