Diisopropylethylamine → [4-(2,4-Dichloro-phenyl)-3-nitro-pyridin-2-yl]-(2-methoxy-1-methyl-ethyl)-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-4-(2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-3-nitro-pyridine (0.20 g, 0.66 mmol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (20 mL), followed by the addition of 2-methoxy-1-methyl-ethylamine (0.12 g, 1.32 mmol) and Hunig's base (0.037 g, 0.29 mmol). The reaction was stirred at reflux for 64 h. The solution was cooled to room temperature and extracted with EtOAc/H2O. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated to yield 0.20 g (87%) of [4-(2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-3-nitro-pyridin-2-yl]-(2-methoxy-1-methyl-ethyl)-amine: MS (AP) m/z 356.2 [(M+H)+, 86].
