Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-5-methylthio-3-iodo-pyridine (2.95 g) and benzenesulfonyl chloride (2.35 g) were dissolved in pyridine (11.1 ml) and the solution was stirred at 60° C. for 15 hours. The reaction solution was poured into water, extracted with chloroform, washed with a saturated aqueous NaCl solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was separated using silica gel column chromatography (chloroform:methanol=50:1) to obtain 2.55 g of the desired product as a pale yellow crystal.
