Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5,6-dichloro-nicotinonitrile (Bionet GC-0755, 500 mg, 2.89 mmol) and ethanolamine (0.87 mL, 14.45 mmol) was prepared in anhydrous dioxane (5 mL) and heated at 80° C. for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with MTBE (50 mL) and washed with water (2×25 mL) and brine (25 ml). The aqueous layers were extracted with MTBE (50 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound as a white powder (510 mg, 89%). HPLC (Method A), Rt: 1.9 min (purity: 99.9%). UPLC/MS, M−(ESI): 196.0.
