Morpholine → 4-((5-Bromopyridin-2-yl)methyl)morpholine

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride (0.57 g, 5 mmol) in DCM (2 mL) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of (5-bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-methanol (0.3 g, 1.59 mmol) in DCM (5 mL) while cooling to 0° C. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and, after 1 h, evaporated to low volume in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in CHCl3, and a solution of morpholine (0.41 g, 5 mmol) in CHCl3 was added at 0° C. After 3 h, the reaction was completed. The solvent was evaporated and addition of ether afforded the target compound (85%) as a white solid. Calculated mass=257. Observed mass=258
