Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-chloro-3-pyridyl)methanamine (300 mg, 2.10 mmol) in dichloromethane (2 mL) at room temperature is added acetic acid anhydride (198.88 mL, 2.10 mmol) and triethylamine (293.26 mL, 2.10 mmol). After 1 h the reaction is quenched with saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent evaporated in vacuo to afford 184 mg of N-[(2-chloro-3-pyridyl)methyl]acetamide. MS (m/z): 185 (M+1)
