2-Pyridinecarboxaldehyde → HCID 178448296, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Anhydrous MgSO4 (50 g, 415 mmol, 4.15 eq) and a substituted aryl or heteroaryl carboxaldehyde, e.g. 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (9.5 ml, 100 mmol, 1 eq), were added to a solution of (R)-(−)-2-amino-3-methyl-1-butanol (10.32 g, 100 mmol) in dry DCM (150 ml) at 0° C. The reaction was followed by LC/MS. The mixture was stirred at this temperature for 2 h 25. MgSO4 was filtered off and the DCM removed by evaporation to give the desired product (XVIII*), e.g. (2R)-3-methyl-2-{[(E)-2-pyridinylmethylidene]amino}-1-butanol as a yellowish oil (19.23 g, quantitative yield).
