2-Methyl-2-butanol → HCID 178526251, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloropyridine-N-oxide (16.6 g, 0.1 mole), 3-amino-1-propanol (15.3 mL, 0.2 mole), NaHCO3 (42 g, 0.5 mole), and tert-amyl alcohol (100 mL) was heated to reflux. After 21 hr, the reaction was cooled, diluted with CH2Cl2 (300 mL), and suction filtered to remove insoluble materials. The filtrate was concentrated and reconcentrated from toluene to leave a yellow oil. Silica gel chromatography ( 20% MeOH/CHCl3) gave the title compound (15.62 g, 93%) as a yellow solid: TLC (20% MeOH/CHCl3) Rf 0.48; 1H NMR (250, CDCl3) δ 8.07 (dd, J=6.6, 1.2 Hz, 1H), 7.34 (br t, 1H), 7.10-7.30 (m, 1H), 6.64 (dd, J=8.5, 1.4 Hz, 1H), 6.40-6.60 (m, 1H), 4.49 (br s, 1H), 3.65-3.90 (m, 2H), 3.35-3.60 (m, 2H), 1.75-2.00 (m, 2H); MS (ES) m/e 169 (M+H)+.
