Morpholine → 1-(6-Bromopyridin-2-yl)-2-morpholin-4-ylethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromo-1-(6-bromopyridin-2-yl)ethanone (250 mg, 0.90 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL) and dimethylformamide (1 mL) was added morpholine (0.18 mL, 2.0 mmol). After 45 minutes, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (30 mL) and washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (15 mL) and brine (15 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to afford the title compound.
