Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Methanesulfonic anhydride (1.79 g, 10.3 mmol, 1.1 equiv) was added portionwise to a cold (5° C.) mixture of (5-nitro-pyridin-2-yl)-methanol (Step 112.4) (1.44 g, 9.4 mmol) and triethylamine (1.57 mL, 11.3 mmol, 1.2 equiv) in DCM (20 mL), under an argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 0.5 h at 5° C., quenched with H2O and extracted with DCM. The organic phase was washed with H2O, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated to provide 2.16 g of the title compound as a brown solid: ESI-MS: 231.1 [M−H]−; tR=2.85 min (System 1).
