Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl (2-(5-methoxypyridin-3-yl)ethyl)carbamate (153 mg, 0.606 mmol) in isopropanol (2 mL) was added 4M HCl in dioxane (2 mL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The mixture was concentrated, the residual solid was washed with diethyl ether and dried in vacuum to provide the title compound as a white solid (103 mg, 0.458 mmol, 75%). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD): δ (ppm) 8.56 (d, J=2.52 Hz, 1H), 8.51 (s, 1H), 8.27 (s, 1H), 4.15 (s, 3H), 3.23-3.38 ppm (m, 4H).
