Triethylamine → HCID 70980720, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cooled (˜10° C.) solution of (6-chloro-3-nitro-pyridin-2-yloxy)-acetic acid ethyl ester (8.0 g, 30.8 mmol) in MeCN (80 mL) was added a solution of triethylamine (6.4 mL, 46 mmol) and 2,4-dimethoxybenzylamine (5.5 mL, 37 mmol). The mixture was then stirred for 16 hours at ambient temperature and then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between EtOAc and aqueous potassium hydrogenphosphate solution. The EtOAc layer was then washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified using SiO2 chromatography (10-50% EtOAc/Petrol) to give [6-(2,4-dimethoxy-benzylamino)-3-nitro-pyridin-2-yloxy]acetic acid ethyl ester (9.53 g) as a yellow solid. MS: [M+H]+ 392
