Pyridine → (5-Cyanopyridin-2-yl)(methyl)carbamic chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of bis(trichloromethyl) carbonate (50 mg, 0.17 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (2.0 mL) was added pyridine (0.04 mL, 0.510 mmol) dropwise under ice-cooling. After stirring under ice-cooling for 30 min, 6-(methylamino)nicotinonitrile (68 mg, 0.510 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 hours. The precipitated solid was filtered off. The filtrate containing (5-cyanopyridin-2-yl)(methyl)carbamic chloride (I-28) was directly used for next step.
