Hydrochloric Acid → 6-Diphenylphosphorylamino nicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-Aminonicotinamide 1.37 g (0.01 mole) is dissolved in 10 ml of 2-pyrrolidinone and 3 ml of pyridine by gentle warming of the mixture. Diphenylphosphoryl chloride 6 ml (0.024 mole) is then slowly added to the mixture. After 1 hour of reaction at room temperature, the mixture is poured into 300 ml of 0.2 N HCl. A reddish syrup, 2.2 g which is formed in the bottom of the flask is isolated by decantation. The product may be purified as follows. The reddish syrup obtained above is dissolved in 3 ml of ethanol and the solution is admixed with 200 ml of 0.2 N HCl. Chloroform, 100 ml is added to the mixture to extract the product. After dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate the chloroform solution which contains the product is evaporated at 35° C. in vacuum to give a practically pure 6-diphenylphosphorylamino nicotinamide.
