Pyridine → Carbamic acid, 4-pyridinyl-, 4-nitrophenyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-aminopyridine (1.97 g, 20.9 mmol) in DCM (75 mL) at 0° C. was added 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate (4.21 g, 20.9 mmol) and pyridine (1.7 mL, 20.9 mmol). Then, the mixture was stirred at RT overnight. The white precipitated was filtered off and washed with DCM (2×50 mL), and then dried in vacuo to give the title compound as a white solid, which was used in the next step without further purification. MS (ESI, positive ion) m/z: 260 (M+H).
