Morpholine → 5-Morpholino-3-nitropicolinonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 5-bromo-3-nitropicolinonitrile (5.0 g, 22 mmol) in DMSO (30 mL) was added morpholine (3.8 mL, 44 mmol). The reaction was stirred at rt for 2 h. After this time the reaction was diluted with EtOAc (300 mL) and water (100 mL). The separated organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The resulting solid was washed with MeOH (15 mL) to give 5-morpholino-3-nitropicolinonitrile. Mass Spectrum (ESI) m/e=235.2 (M+1).
