Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-(4-Chloro-2-methyl-phenoxy)-5-aminopyridine (211 mg, 0.90 mmol) was dissolved in methylene chloride (2.7 mL) then treated with triethylamine (0.19 mL, 1.35 mmol) followed by benzoyl chloride (0.13 mL, 1.12 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 hours at 22° C. then saturated aqueous NaHCO3 was added and the mixture was stirred for another hour. The organic layer was separated and washed 2× with 6% aqueous NaHCO3, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel using 1:1 ethyl acetate/hexane as eluent. The product was recovered as a white solid. MS (m/z): 338/340 (M+H)+; C19H15N2O2Cl requires 338.8.
