Hydrazine → 2-Hydrazinyl-5-((2-methoxyethoxy)methyl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-5-(chloromethyl)pyridine (1620 mg, 10 mmol) in 2-methoxyethanol (10 mL) was added sodium 2-methoxyethanolate (5.9 g, 12.00 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min and then at 50° C. for 2 hrs. Hydrazine (1.6 g, 50.0 mmol) was then added to the mixture and the reaction was heated at 120° C. for 1 hr. The mixture was purified by preparative LCMS to provide the title compound, 2-hydrazinyl-5-((2-methoxyethoxy)methyl)pyridine (540 mg, 27.4% yield).
