Phenyl chloroformate → Phenyl [5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-amine (100 mg, 0.617 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (159.5 mg, 215 μL, 1.234 mmol) in 5 mL CH2Cl2 was treated with phenyl chloroformate (106 mg, 85 μL, 0.68 mmol) and left to stir for 3 h at rt. Solution was diluted with EtOAc and washed twice with 1 N HCl and 1 time with brine. The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to provide a white solid. Tituration with 10% EtOAc in hexanes gave 120 mg (69%, 0.42 mmol) of the above compound as a white solid. 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 11.26 (s, 1H), 8.70 (s, 1H), 8.22 to 8.16 (m, 1H), 7.99 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.45 to 7.40 (m, 2H), 7.30 to 7.20 (m, 3 H)
