Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under protective gas (argon), a reaction tube containing a solution of (1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)(phenyl)methanone (188 mg; 1.0 mmol), 6-[(aminooxy)methyl]pyridin-2-amine (139 mg; 1.0 mmol) and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (190 mg; 1.0 mmol) in 2-propanol (2 mL) is sealed and heated in a microwave oven at 160° C. for 90 min. For workup, the mixture is allowed to cool down, diluted with dichloromethane (10 mL) and washed twice with 3 ml each time of sat. aq. sodium bicarbonate. The aqueous phase is extracted with dichloromethane and the combined organic layers dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification on silica gel affords 6-[({[(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)(phenyl)methylene]amino}oxy)methyl]pyridin-2-amine as a colourless oil [205 mg; 66% of theory; HPLC/MS: m/z=310 (M+H); log P(HCOOH)=1.13].
