Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

6-Chloronicotinoyl chloride (500 mg, 2.76 mmol) and triethylamine (0.576 ml, 4.13 mmol) were taken-up in THF (13.8 ml) under argon and cooled to 0° C. Dimethylamine hydrochloride (337 mg, 4.13 mmol) was dissolved in THF (2 ml) and added dropwise to the reaction mixture over 15 minutes. The mixture was maintained at 0° C. for 1 hour, warmed to room temperature, and stirred for 15 minutes. The reaction was then diluted with ethyl acetate and washed twice with brine. The aqueous layers were combined and back-extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to afford the title compound.
