Triethylamine → HCID 15617221, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2,6-dichloro-3-nitropyridine (1.0 g, 0.00518 mole) and glycine ethyl ester hydrochloride (0.725 g, 0.00518 mole) in absolute ethanol (10 ml) was added triethylamine (1.05 g, 0.0104 mole). The resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature under nitrogen. An additional portion of absolute ethanol (10 ml) was added and the suspension was filtered and the solid was washed with 3-10 ml portions of absolute ethanol. The combined filtrate and washings were evaporated under reduced pressure at room temperature to give a yellow solid which was triturated in water (30 ml) collected by filtration, and rinsed with additional water. The solid was recrystallized from isopropyl ether/light petroleum ether, and the resulting solid was purified by column chromatography (10 g of silica gel) with 1:1 isopropyl ether/light petroleum ether as the eluting solvent. The appropriate fraction was recrystallized from isopropyl ether and dried under high vacuum to give the title compound, mp 77.5°-80° C.
