Water → 2-(3-Azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-yl)-5-nitropyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 0.2 g (1.26 mmol) of 2-chloro-5-nitropyridine, of 0.166 g (1.39 mmol) of 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (Bioorg. &Med. Chem. Lett. 2005, 15(8) 2093) and of 0.52 g (3.78 mmol) of potassium carbonate in 5 ml of dimethylformamide is stirred at ambient temperature for 36 hours. The mixture is subsequently poured into 5 ml of water and then extracted 3 times with 20 ml of ethyl acetate. The organic phases are subsequently combined, dried over magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. 0.22 g of the expected product is thus obtained, which product is used as it is in the rest of the synthesis.
