N,N-Dimethylethylenediamine → N,N-dimethyl-N'-(5-nitropyridin-2-yl)ethane-1,2-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-5-nitropyridine 106-A and EtN3 (4.7 g, 46.5 mmol) in CH3CN (150 ml) was added N,N-dimethylethlenediamine 106-B (4.1 g, 46.5 mmol). The solution was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours, extracted with EtOAc, washed (brine), dried(MgSO4) and concentrated to give N,N-dimethyl-N′-(5-nitropyridin-2-yl)ethane-1,2-diamine 106-C (5.2 g) as a yellow solid.
