Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2.3 g (12.81 mmol) of 6-chloronicotinoyl chloride and 1.53 g (15.37 mmol) of N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine in 46 mL of dichloromethane was cooled to 0° C. After dropwise addition of 5.36 mL (38.4 mmol) of triethylamine the resulting reaction mixture was warmed to RT and stirred for further 16 h. The mixture was subsequently washed with water (40 mL), 5% citric acid (40 mL), water (40 mL), and brine (40 mL). The organic layer was dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and the solvent was evaporated at reduced pressure yielding the titled compound as an oil. Amount 2.30 g. Yield 89%.
