N-Hydroxysuccinimide → 5-Bromo-N-methoxy-N-methylpyridine-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 5-bromonicotinic acid (5.0 g) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (4.27 g) in acetonitrile (60 ml) was added 1-ethyl-3—(3′-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (7.12 g) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. To the reaction mixture were added N,O-dimethyl-hydroxylamine hydrochloride (2.66 g) and triethylamine (10 ml), and the mixture was stirred for 64 hours and concentrated under reduced pressure. To the residue was added water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was separated and purified with column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=2:1) to give N-methyl-N-methoxy-5-bromopyridine-3-carboxamide (3.71 g) as pale yellow oil.
