Thiophosgene → 2-chloro-5-isothiocyanatopyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-amino-2-chloropyridine (5.0 g, 38.11 mmol) and thiophosgene (3.6 ml, 45.73 mmol) in DCM (75 ml) and water (35 ml) was stirred at r.t. for 18 h. The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated in vacuo to give the title compound as an off-white solid (6.6 g, 95%). δH (CDCl3) 8.35 (1H, dd, J 0.5, 2.2 Hz), 7.54 (1H, dd, J 2.2, 8.5 Hz), 7.40 (1H, dd, J 0.5, 8.5 Hz). LCMS (ES+) RT 3.61 minutes, 171 (M+H)+.
