Triethylamine → 2-Amino-5-bromopyridine-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-amino-5-bromonicotinic acid (2.0 g, 9.20 mmol), HOBT (1.40 g, 11.2 mmol), EDCI (3.52 g, 18.4 mmol), Et3N (4.68 g, 46.0 mmol) and NH4Cl (2.48 g, 46.0 mmol) in DMF (100 mL) was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, suspended in water and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give the product of 2-amino-5-bromonicotinamide (1.80 g, yield: 80%), which was used for the next step without further purification. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz) δ 8.14 (dd, J=4.4 Hz, 2.4 Hz, 2H), 8.04 (s, 1H), 7.46 (s, 1H), 7.37 (s, 2H). MS (M+H)+: 216/218.
