Methyl triflate → N-[2-(pyridin-2-ylsulfanyl)ethyl)thioacetimidic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Add methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (65.5 mg, 0.4 mmol) to a solution of N-(2-(pyridin-2-ylsulfanyl)ethyl)thioacetamide (85.0 mg, 0.4 mmol) in methylene chloride (10 mL) under nitrogen. Stir the reaction mixture at room temperature for 5 minutes and remove the solvent under reduced pressure to give N-[2-(pyridin-2-ylsulfanyl)ethyl)thioacetimidic acid methyl ester (0.4 mmol) as a colorless oil.
