Pyridine → Phenyl 6-fluoropyridin-3-ylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-Fluoropyridin-3-amine (224 mg, 2.00 mmol) was dissolved in THF (4 mL). Pyridine (202 μL, 2.50 mmol) was added, followed by phenyl chloroformate (258 μL, 2.06 mmol). The reaction was stirred at rt for 2 h, then EtOAc (20 mL) was added. The reaction was washed with 1 M HCl (10 mL), water (10 mL), saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (10 mL), and brine (10 mL), then dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give slightly impure 16A (471 mg, >100%). 16A had an analytical HPLC retention time=2.437 min (Phenomenex Luna 3.0×50 mm, 10-90% aqueous MeOH over 5 min containing 0.1% TFA) and a LC/MS M++1=233.
