Triethylamine → N-(4-(benzyloxy)pyridin-3-yl)methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(benzyloxy)pyridin-3-amine (40 g, 0.2 mol) and Et3N (60.6 g, 0.6 mol) in DCM (600 mL), MsCl (45.8 g, 0.4 mol) was added dropwise at 0° C. The mixture was allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was quenched with NaHCO3 and extracted with DCM. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in THF:H2O=5:1 (500 mL) and LiOH.H2O (16.8 g, 0.4 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred for 4 hours at room temperature. EtOAc (300 mL) was added, and the organic phase washed with NaHCO3 (sat., a.q.), brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtrated and concentrated to give pure N-(4-(benzyloxy)pyridin-3-yl)methanesulfonamide (30.0 g, yield: 54.0%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 8.67 (s, 1H), 8.34 (d, J=5.6 Hz, 1H), 7.35˜7.42 (m, 5H), 6.91 (d, J=5.6 Hz, 1H), 6.61 (br, 1H), 5.15 (s, 2H), 2.96 (s, 3H). MS (M+H)+: 279.
