Piperidine → Methyl 2-chloro-6-(piperidin-1-yl)isonicotinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 2,6-dichloroisonicotinate (1 g, 4.85 mmol), piperidine (0.61 g, 7.28 mmol), K2CO3 (1.38 g, 9.7 mmol) in acetonitrile (20 mL) was heated at 90° C. for 20 h. After completion of reaction, reaction mass was filtered, filtrate concentrated and purified by column to obtain pure methyl 2-chloro-6-(piperidin-1-yl)isonicotinate (1.23 g, 90%).
