3-(Oxiran-2-yl)pyridine → HCID 18007277, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under nitrogen, a solution of 3-oxiranylpyridine (1.9 g) and N-benzyl-(3-methoxy-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-6-yl)amine (3.3 9) in ethanol (15 ml) was refluxed for 5 hours. After removal of ethanol in vacuo, the residue was dissolved into a mixture of aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate and ethyl acetate. After separation, the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (chloroform:methanol=20:1) to give 2-[N-benzyl-N-(3-methoxy-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-6-yl) amino]-1-(pyridin-3-yl)ethanol (520 mg).
