Dimethylamine → 4-(6-Dimethylamino-3-nitro-pyridin-2-ylamino)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 6 g (0.016 mol) of 4-(6-chloro-3-nitro-pyridin-2-ylamino)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester in MeOH/CH2Cl2 (84 mL/15 mL) was added 2.2 g (0.05 mol) of dimethylamine in THF (25 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h, and was then concentrated. The crude product was then dissolved in CH2Cl2 (400 mL) and washed with saturated NaHCO3 (2×200 mL). The washes were combined and extracted with EtOAc (100 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to afford 6.1 g (99%) of the desired product as a bright yellow solid.
