Isobutylamine → N-(isobutyl)-2-(2-(phenylsulfonyl)ethylthio)nicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

171 mg (1.05 mmol) of CDI were added to a solution of 323 mg (1.00 mmol) of 2-(2-(phenylsulfonyl)ethylthio)nicotinic acid in DCM (16 ml), and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour at RT. 99 μl (1.00 mmol) of isobutylamine were then added, and stirring was continued for a further 5 days at RT. The reaction solution was then washed in each case twice with a 4 M aq. ammonium chloride solution and a 1 M aq. sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue obtained was taken up in ethyl acetate (30 ml) and washed with 0.4 M hydrochloric acid (5 ml). The organic phase was again dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. 160 mg (0.42 mmol, 42 of N-(isobutyl)-2-(2-(phenylsulfonyl)ethylthio)nicotinamide were obtained as residue.
