4-Aminopyridine → HCID 86700706, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Bromopyridine-6-carboxylic acid (5.00 g, 24.8 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (100 mL) and DMF (1 mL), and oxalyl chloride (7.54 g, 59.4 mmol) was added dropwise over 5 min. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h and the solvents were removed in vacuo. The reaction mixture was azeotroped twice with DCM and dissolved in DCM (100 mL). DIPEA (12.8 g, 99.0 mmol) and 4-aminopyridine (4.66 g, 49.5 mmol) were added dropwise and the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h, washed with sat aq NaHCO3 (50 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was recrystallised from MeOH to give the title compound (5.00 g, 73%) as an off white solid. LCMS (ES+): 278.2 [MH]+.
