1,2-Dichloroethane → 2-Bromo-N-methoxy-N-methylisonicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2-bromoisonicotinic acid, (25.2 g, 124 mmol), HOBt (20.2 g, 149 mmol) and O,N-dimethyl-hydroxylamine hydrochloride (14.6 g, 149 mmol) in DMF (150 mL) at 0° C., was added diisopropylethyalamine (26.0 mL, 149 mmol). EDC (28.6 g, 149 mmol) was then added and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was then poured into ice cold water (500 mL) and the resulting solution extracted with EtOAc (3×150 mL). The combined organic fraction was were washed with water (2×200 mL), 0.5 M HCl (200 mL), sat. NaHCO3 solution, brine (200 mL) and then dried (MgSO4). The solvent was evaporated in vacuo to give 2-bromo-N-methoxy-N-methyl-isonicotinamide (23 g, 75%)
