Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 3,5-dibromopyridine (Aldrich, Buchs, Switzerland, 4.6 mmol) in dry THF under Ar was added slowly a ˜2 M solution of isopropylmagnesium chloride in THF (2.76 ml). The RM was stirred for 2 h at it then was added acetone (6.9 mmol) and the RM was stirred for 2 h at rt. The RM was quenched with brine and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated. The residue was absorbed on silica gel and purified by flash chromatography (heptane/EtOAc 0% to 70%). The fractions containing product were evaporated together to give the title compound as an oil. (HPLC: tR 1.82 min (Method A); M+H=216, 218 MS-ES)
