Triethylamine → N-[2-[(4-Methyl-2-pyridyl)amino]ethyl]methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cooled (0° C.) solution of N-(4-methyl-2-pyridyl)ethane-1,2-diamine (683 mg, 4.52 mmol) in dichloromethane (25 ml) were added triethyl amine (1.26 ml, 9.06 mmol) followed by methanesulfonyl chloride (370 μl, 4.78 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for two hours and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to give 1.04 g of a yellow oil (4.57 mmol, 95%) MS(ESI) m/z=230.1 [M+1]+.
