Potassium Carbonate → 1-(5-Nitropyridin-2-yl)azetidin-3-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Bromo-5-nitropyridine (406 mg, 2 mmol), 3-hydroxyazetidine hydrochloride (199 mg, 2 mmol), and finely ground potassium carbonate (828 mg, 6 mmol) were heated to 80° C. in 20 mL anhydrous DMF for 5 hrs. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc, extracted with H2O and dried over MgSO4. The EtOAc layer was filtered, evaporated to dryness and used without further purification. ES-MS calcd for C8H9N3O3 (m/e) 195.18, obsd 196.2 (M+H).
