Reaction Steps

To a solution of N3-cyclopropylpyridine-2,3-diamine (1.0 g, 6.70 mmol) in dioxane (13.41 ml) was added 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (Acros Organics, 1.630 g, 10.05 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated to 60° C. for 2 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with water. The organic layer was loaded onto a Biotage samplet and purified (0-100% EtOAc/hexane, 25G biotage column) to afford product that solidified upon rotovap. Material was advanced to the next step. M+1: 176.0.
