Triethylamine → methyl N-(2,5-dichloropyridine-3-carbonyl)carbamimidothioate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under an atmosphere of nitrogen, and at a temperature of 0° C., a solution of 2,5-dichloropyridine-3-carbonyl chloride [175277-81-3] (4.82 g, 23 mmol) in CHCl3 (7 ml) was slowly added to a solution of methyl aminomethanimidothioate hydroiodide [4338-95-8] (5.00 g, 23 mmol) and triethylamine (6.36 ml, 46 mmol) in pyridine (7 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. over the weekend, was taken up in ethyl acetate and washed (water). After drying (Na2SO4) and evaporation of the solvent, the residue was purified (column chromatography, silica gel, CH2Cl2/MeOH) to give 1-(2,5-dichloro-pyridine-3-carbonyl)-2-methyl-isothiourea (3.50 g, 13 mmol; 58%). MS: m/e=262.0 [M+H+]); 1H NMR (d6-DMSO): δ 2.44 (s, 3H), 8.27 (d, 1H), 8.55 (d, 1H), 9.15 (bs, 1H), 9.55 (bs, 1H).
