Methylamine → 1-(6-Amino-4-bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-3-methyl-urea

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.188 g 2.6-diamino-4-bromopyridine in 2 ml acetonitrile was added 0.164 g 1,1-carbonyldi(1,2,4-triazole) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. After a short period of a clear solution a suspension formed. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. To the resulting suspension was added 0.5 ml of a methylamine solution in THF (ca 3 M) and the resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 h. The mixture was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The phases were separated and the organic phase evaporated to dryness. The residue was taken up in methanol whereby crystallisation occurred. The crystals were collected by filtration and dried to constant weight to yield 0.196 g of the title compound as white crystals.
