Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.20 g (0.8 mmol) of 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-6-chloro-2-methoxypyridine in 10 ml of dry CH2Cl2 cooled to -50° C. was added 0.18 ml (0.8 mmol) trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride under an atmosphere of nitrogen. The mixture was stirred for 30 min at this temperature and an additional 10 min at -78° C. before a rapid addition of 30 ml of cold (-78° C.) NH3 (1). The mixture was stirred for 15 min at room temperature, and then concentrated in vacuo to afford 1.0 g of crude 3-(2-aminoethyl)-6-chloro-2-methoxypyridine as a trifluoromethanesulfonic acid salt.
