1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → 2-Chloropyridine-4-carbohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

HOBt (823 mg, 6.09 mmol), and EDCI (1.2 g, 6.09 mmol) were added to a suspension of 2-chloro-isonicotinic acid (800 mg, 5.08 mmol) in acetonitrile (10.3 ml) at room temperature. After two h a solution of hydrazine monohydrate (0.493 ml, 10.2 mmol) in acetonitrile (5.0 ml) was added drop-wise at 0° C. After 30 min, the solvent was removed using a roto-evaporator and the residue was diluted with ethyl acetate, quenched with water, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford 2-chloro-isonicotinic acid hydrazide (493 mg, 57%, yellow solid). 1H NMR (DMSO) d (ppm): 10.21 (bs, 1H), 8.55 (d, 1H), 7.82 (s, 1H), 7.75 (d, 1H), 4.69 (bs, 2H).
