Pyridine → 4-Nitrophenyl pyridin-2-ylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-aminopyridine (2.0 mL, 21.25 mmol) in DCM (35 mL) at 0° C. was added a solution of 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate (4.28 g, 21.25 mmol) in DCM (35 mL) and pyridine (1.73 mL, 21.25 mmol, anhydrous). After the addition was completed, the reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 16 h under an atmosphere of nitrogen. A white precipitated was observed and it was collected by filtration. The filtrate was washed with DCM (3×50 mL) to give the title compound as a white solid. MS (ESI, positive ion) m/z: 260 (M+H).
