Triethylamine → 6-((2R,5S)-2,5-Dimethyl-piperazin-1-yl)-nicotinonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

Combine (2S,5R)-2,5-dimethyl-piperazine (200 mg, 1.75 mmol), 6-chloro-nicotinonitrile (1.75 mmol) and triethylamine (5.25 mmol) in a 0.875 M solution of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone. Microwave reaction mixture for 30 min at 150° C. Partition between ethyl acetate and water, collecting organic phase. Wash aqueous layer again with ethyl acetate and combine organics. Dry with sodium sulfate, filter and concentrate. Purify on preparative HPLC to give the title compound. (9% yield)
