Formic Acid → 3-Bromo-5-(1-methyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-pyridine

Temperatur

80 °C

Enantiomerically enriched 5-bromo-3-(2-pyrrolidinyl)pyridine (1.82 g, 8 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of 98% formic acid (16 mL) and 37% aqueous formaldehyde (8 mL). The solution was heated with stirring for 3 h at 80° C. After cooling to 25° C. the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and water (30 mL) added. The mixture was basified with solid NaOH to pH 12 and extracted with methylene chloride (3×40 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (20 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was chromatographed on silica gel with ethyl acetate:hexane (1:3 ) as eluant to afford 5-bromo-3-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)pyridine as an oil, 1.63 g,84%.
