O,O-Dipyridin-2-yl carbonothioate → 2-(4-Isothiocyanatophenoxy)-3-methylpyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a round bottomed flask were added 4-(3-methylpyridin-2-yloxy)benzenamine (100 mg, 0.5 mmol), O,O-dipyridin-2-yl carbonothioate (122 mg, 0.52 mmol) and DCM (2 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 16 h. The reaction was partitioned between DCM and water, brine. The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM and the combined organics was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to give 2-(4-isothiocyanatophenoxy)-3-methylpyridine as tan solid. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 243.1 (M+1).
