Thiophosgene → 2,4-Dichloro-5-isothiocyanatopyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring slurry of 4,6-dichloropyridin-3-amine (2.00 g, 12 mmol) and sodium carbonate (3.4 g, 32 mmol) in 10 mL DCM was added thiophosgene (1.2 mL, 16 mmol). The orange mixture was sealed and allowed to stir at ambient temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered, rinsing with DCM, and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to give 2,4-dichloro-5-isothiocyanatopyridine as an orange solid. MS (ESD m/z: calculated: 203.9; Observed: 204.9 (M++1).
