Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of isonicotinimidamide hydrochloride (1.0 g, 6.35 mmol) and NEt3 (3.21 g, 4.42 mL, 31.7 mmol) in 50 mL DCM was cooled to −5 and −10° C. Perchloromethyl mercaptan (1.3 g, 763 μl, 6.98 mmol) in 10 mL DCM was added drop wise over 1 h. The mixture was warmed to 0° C. over 30 min and stirred for 2 h. Water (50 mL) and 2M NaOH (10 mL) was added. The suspension was filtrated. The organic layer was extracted with DCM and washed with brine (50 mL) and the aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (50 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried over Na2SO4 and filtered off. The crude product was concentrated under vacuum and the residue dissolved in DCM, taken up on Isolute® and purified by column chromatography on silica eluting with a gradient formed from heptane and EtOAc to yield after evaporation of the product containing fraction 0.43 g (34%) of the title compound as a brown solid. MS (m/e): 198.1 (MH+).
