Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(Methylamino)ethanol (3.04 ml) is added to a mixture of 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine (3.00 g) and of potassium carbonate (5.22 g) in acetonitrile (90 ml) at 0°. The mixture is stirred for 2.5 hr at 20°-25° and additional 2-(methylamino)ethanol (1.5 ml) is added. The mixture is stirred for 1.5 hr, concentrated to a gum and diluted with methylene chloride (85 ml) and water (20 ml). The layers are separated and the organic phase is washed in water and dried over magnesium sulfate. Removal of solvent under reduced pressure gives the title compound, NMR (CDCl3) 8.27, 8.14, 6.76, 4.38, 3.88 and 2.87 δ.
