Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Introduced into a microwave tube are 300 mg (1.28 mmol) of 2-[(6-chloropyridin-2-ylamino)methyl]phenol, to which 5 ml of dimethyl sulphoxide and 448 mg (6.4 mmol, 5 eq) of sodium methanethiolate are added. The reaction mixture is heated for 16 h at 90° C. The reaction medium is diluted with 50 ml of ethyl acetate and then washed with 50 ml of a saturated ammonium chloride solution then 2×50 ml of distilled water. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulphate then filtered and concentrated to dryness. The residue is purified by chromatography over 40 g of silica with, as eluent, heptane/ethyl acetate (7/3). The product obtained is put back into solution in ethyl acetate, heptane is added until the solution becomes cloudy, it is then cooled to 0° C. and filtered. 2-[(6-Methylsulphanylpyridin-2-ylamino)methyl]phenol is obtained in the form of a white solid.
