Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

5-Bromo-3-pyridinamine (200 mg) was dissolved in pyridine (5 ml), cooled to 0° C. and stirred for 10 min. Methanesulfonyl chloride (0.05 ml) was added dropwise and the reaction continued stirring for 1 hr. 2M HCl (aq) (5 ml) was added and the reaction was extracted with DCM, passed through a hydrophobic frit and evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in DCM and adsorbed onto fluorosil and purified by column chromatography on silica, eluting with 50% ether/cyclohexane then 0-10% MeOH/DCM to give the title compound (96 mg).
