Potassium Carbonate → HCID 9885608, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 2.8 g. portion of 3-(4-phenoxyphenylaminomethyl)pyridine was dissolved in 100 ml. of acetonitrile, and to it were added 2 g. of potassium carbonate and 1.3 g. of ethanesulfonyl chloride. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 days, and it was then filtered and concentrated under vacuum. The oily residue was chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with 4.1 toluene:acetone. The product-containing fractions were evaporated under vacuum, and the residue was taken up in diethyl ether. Upon standing, a precipitate formed, which was shown to be 2.0 g. of the desired product, m.p. 79°-80°.
