Citric Acid → (3-Nitro-5-trifluoromethylpyridin-2-yl)-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-3-nitro-5-trifluoromethylpyridine (2.60 g), 2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine (0.79 g), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1.04 g) and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (5 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 10 hours. To the reaction mixture was poured aqueous 10% citric acid solution, and then the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give (3-nitro-5-trifluoromethylpyridin-2-yl)-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)amine (1.83 g).
