Participants

Reaction Steps

A 100-mL round bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar was charged with 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine (4.0 g, 25.2 mmol), potassium carbonate (4.18 g, 30.3 mmol), and DMF (25 mL). Next, (S)-2-aminopropane-1-ol (1.990 g, 26.5 mmol) was added at rt. The yellow mixture was stirred at rt for 45 min, then was heated to 50° C. for 22 h. Heating was discontinued, and after the mixture had cooled, it was diluted with water (50 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was separated and washed with 5% aqueous sodium chloride solution (3×25 mL). The combined aqueous layers were extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were concentrated to yield (S)-2-(3-nitropyridin-2-ylamino)propane-1-ol (5.68 g, 28.8 mmol, 114%) as a dark yellow syrup. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z 198 [M+1]+.
