Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-5-nitro-pyridine (500 mg, 3.15 mmol), 2,2,2-trifluoro-ethylamine (940 mg, 9.45 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1.64 mL, 9.45 mmol) in 1-methyl-pyrrolidin-2-one (10 mL) in a sealed tube was heated by microwave at 200° C. for 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness and purified by silica gel chromatography (Isco 120 g column, 40% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give (5-nitro-pyridin-2-yl)-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethyl)-amine (300 mg, 43%) as a yellow solid. LCMS calcd for C7H6F3N3O2 (m/e) 221, obsd 222 (M+H). The NMR spectrum obtained on the sample is compatible with its structure.
