Triethylamine → 4-[3-(2-Quinoxaloylamino)propylthio]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4.30 g (17.8 mmol) of 4-(3-aminopropylthio)pyridine dihydrochloride and 8.68 ml (62.3 mmol) of triethylamine in 200 ml of methylene chloride, 3.43 g (17.8 mmol) of 2-quinoxaloyl chloride was added with stirring under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and water, and dried. The solvent was distilled off and the residue was purified by column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate) and recrystallization (solvent: ethyl acetate-ether) to give 2.82 g of the desired compound (48.9% yield, white crystals).
