Triethylamine → 2-Hydrazino-5-(methanesulfonyl)-pyridine

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-bromo-5-(methanesulfonyl)-pyridine (27.5 g, 116 mmol), triethylamine (14.7 g. 145 mmol), and hydrazine hydrate (7.26 g, 145 mmol) in water (205 ml) was heated to 70° C. The reaction mixture became homogenous before the product started to precipitate out of this mixture (after 90 minutes). The reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for total of 5 hours and then was allowed to cool to room temperature and stirred for 18 hours. The precipitated product was collected by filtration, dried and triturated with hot ethanol to afford 2-hydrazino-5-(methanesulfonyl)-pyridine in 86% yield. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCI3) δ3.12 (s, 3H), 4.44 (br s, 2H), 6.80 (br d, J=8.7 Hz. 1H), 7.81 (dd. J1=9.0 Hz, J2=2.4 Hz, 1H), 8.38 (d, 2.3 Hz, 1H), 8.57 (br s, 1H).
