Triethylamine → 5-bromo-N,N-dimethylpicolinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromopyridine-2-caboxylic acid (3.00 g, 14.85 mmol), dimethyl amine hydrochloride (1.82 g, 22.30 mmol) and triethylamine (6.21 ml, 44.60 mmol) in 20 mL of DMF was added HATU (8.47 g, 22.30 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, quenched with water, extracted with 3×EtOAc. The combined organic layer was washed with 2×H2O, dried with Na2SO4, concentrated and purified by Biotage column chromatography with 60-70% EtOAc in hexanes to give a yellow oil (1.56 g, 46% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.59 (d, J=1.77 Hz, 1 H) 7.88 (dd, J=8.34, 2.27 Hz, 1 H) 7.52 (d, J=8.34 Hz, 1 H) 3.06 (d, J=14.15 Hz, 6 H); LCMS for C8H9BrN2O m/z 229.00 (M+H+).
