2-Aminopropanol → HCID 58629086, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60 wt. percent oil dispersion, 560 mg, 14 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of 2-aminopropanol (1.2 mL, 14 mmol) in THF (25 mL). After 30 minutes, 2,6-dichloropyridine (2.0 g, 14 mmol) was added and the reaction heated at reflux for 8 hours. After cooling, the reaction was quenched with aqueous 1N hydrochloric acid and washed with ether (3×30 mL). The pH of the aqueous phase was then raised to 10-11 with 50 wt. percent aqueous sodium hydroxide and extracted with ether (3×50 mL). The organics were dried (MgSO4), filtered and solvent removed in vacuo leaving 2.2 g of a yellow oil.
