Triethylamine → N-cyclopropyl-2-(pyridine-3-carbothioamido)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methylpyridine-3-carbodithioate (2.97 g, 17.52 mmol) in methanol (10 mL) was added a solution of 2-amino-N-cyclopropylacetamide (2 g, 17.52 mmol) (HCl salt) and triethylamine (3.55 g, 35.0 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and then diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3, brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give N-cyclopropyl-2-(pyridine-3-carbothioamido)acetamide as a yellow solid (3.60 g, 83%): mp 152-153° C.; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.60 (s, 1H), 8.91 (ddd, J=7.0, 2.3, 0.7 Hz, 1H), 8.76-8.56 (m, 1H), 8.10 (m, 2H), 7.57-7.32 (m, 1H), 4.26 (m, 2H), 2.73-2.57 (m, 1H), 0.77-0.61 (m, 2H), 0.50-0.29 (m, 2H); ESIMS (m/z) 234 ([M−H]−).
