Morpholine → 4-(4-Bromopyridin-2-yl)morpholine

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of triethylamine (1.0 equiv.) and 2-fluoro-4-bromopyridine (1.0 equiv.) at RT was added morpholine (1.0 equiv) in one portion, the resulting mixture was then heated in an oil bath at 100° C. for 66 hr. LCMS analysis indicated the formation of the desired product (m/z=244.9, Rt=0.36 min). The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to yield 4-(4-bromopyridin-2-yl)morpholine as a light brown solid, (>100%, TEA impurity). LCMS (m/z) (M+H)=244.9, Rt=0.36 min. 1H NMR (400 MHz, <dmso>) δ ppm 3.39-3.55 (m, 4H) 3.59-3.75 (m, 4H) 6.87 (dd, J=5.28, 1.37 Hz, 1H) 7.05 (d, J=1.17 Hz, 1H) 8.00 (d, J=5.48 Hz, 1H).
