Hydroxyamine hydrochloride → (NZ)-N-[(5-fluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)-[3-fluoro-4-(4-methyl-3-pyridinyl)-2-pyridinyl]methylidene]hydroxylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (5-fluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)(3′-fluoro-4-methyl-3,4′-bipyridin-2′-yl)methanone (0.024 g, 0.071 mmol) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.033 g, 0.480 mmol) in pyridine (Volume: 0.353 ml) was refluxed for 3 hr, allowed to cool to room temperature, and then concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was dissolved in a minimal amount of CH2Cl2 to be chromatographed (required a few drops of MeOH). Purification of the crude material by silica gel chromatography using an ISCO machine (4 g column, 18 mL/min, 0-95% EtOAc in hexanes over 15 min, tr=0.5, 1.5 2.5 min) gave the title compound (22 mg, 0.061 mmol, 87% yield) as a yellow residue. ESI MS (M+H)+=356.1.
