Methyl iodide → HCID 54348185, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of N-(2-chloro-3-pyridinyl)-2-methylnicotinamide (1.48 g) in DMSO (20 mL) was added NaH (60% in oil, 0.26 g). After 20 minutes, methyl iodide (0.45 mL) was added, and stirring was continued for 30 minutes. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and evaporated. Chromatography of the residue over silica gel (ethyl acetate/hexane) gave N-(2-chloro-3-pyridinyl)-N-methyl-2-methylnicotinamide (1.51 g).
