Triethylamine → 5-Bromo-3-[(3-morpholin-4-yl-propylamino)methyl]pyridin-2-ylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-5-bromo-pyridine-3-carbaldehyde hydrobromide (4.30 g, 15.3 mmol) in MeOH (100 mL) was added triethylamine (4.3 mL, 31 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min. The resulting suspension was treated with 4-(3-aminopropyl)morpholine (2.5 mL, 17 mmol) and the mixture was stirred for 7 h. TLC analysis indicated remaining starting material. Additional 4-(3-aminopropyl)morpholine (1.0 mL, 6.8 mmol) was added, and the mixture was allowed to stir overnight at room temperature. The mixture was cooled and then NaBH4 (0.87 g, 23.0 mmol) was added in two portions. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo. Purification by column chromatography (silica gel, CH2Cl2/MeOH/Et3N, 97/2.5/0.5 to 85/14.5/0.5) gave the title compound (2.70 g, 54%) as a brown oil: MS (ESI) m/e 329 (M+H)+.
