Triethylamine → N-(5-Fluoropyridin-2-yl)pivalamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 0° C. solution of 2-amino-5-fluoropyridine (1.00 g, 8.92 mmol) and triethylamine (1.35 g, 13.4 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 mL) was added trimethylacetyl chloride (1.29 g, 10.7 mmol) and DMAP (0.11 g, 0.89 mmol). The solution was allowed to warm to room temperature. After 4 h, saturated aqueous NaHCO3 was added, the layers separated and the aqueous phase backwashed with DCM. The combined organics were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated and the residue purified by silica gel chromatography (5%→40% EtOAc/hexanes) to give the title compound (1.34 g). MS 197.3 (M+1).
