Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-5-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (0.5, 2.207 mmol) and 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol (0.393 g, 4.41 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added NaH (0.177 g, 4.41 mmol) at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at rt. After 5 h, TLC analysis showed the starting material had disappeared. The solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in DCM (60 mL) and washed with H2O (20 mL) and brine (20 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica column chromatography (DCM/MeOH=20/1) to yield a white solid of N,N-dimethyl-2-((5-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)oxy)ethanamine (0.5 g, 1.717 mmol, 78.0% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 9.25 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 8.74 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 4.73 (t, J=5.4 Hz, 2H), 2.88 (t, J=5.4 Hz, 2H), 2.37 (s, 6H); ES-LCMS m/z 280.0 (M+H).
