Methanesulfonyl chloride → N-(6-Chloro-2-methylpyridin-3-yl)methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-amino-6-chloro-2-picoline (2.0 g, 14.0 mmol) and methanesulfonyl chloride (1.92 g, 16.8 mmol) in pyridine (40 ml) was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. After removal of the solvent, the resulting crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography, eluting with hexane/EtOAc (3:2), to afford 1.70 g (55% yield) of the title compound as pale yellow solids.
