Triethylamine → 2-Chloro-N-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3-nitropyridin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,4-dichloro-3-nitropyridine (12.0 g, 62.2 mmol) in DMF (78 mL) was added NEt3 (10.4 mL, 74.6 mmol) and p-methoxybenzylamine (8.12 ml, 62.18 mmol) at 0° C. After stirring for 10 h at rt, DMF was removed at reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with EtOAc, filtered, washed with EtOAc and hexane, and dried to afford 2-chloro-N-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3-nitropyridin-4-amine (9.29 g, 51%). Additional product (8.0 g, 44%) was obtained by column chromatography (SiO2, eluent) from the filtrates.
