Pyridine → 3-Bromo-5-(1-methanesulfonyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-bromo-5-(2-pyrrolidinyl)pyridine (0.2 g, 0.881 mmol) and pyridine (0.157 mL, 1.937 mmol) in DCM (1 mL) is added methanesulfonyl chloride in DCM (1 mL) dropwise. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The mixture is concentrated. The resulting crude product is purified by normal phase chromatography using 0-3% MeOH in DCM as the gradient to afford 3-bromo-5-(1-methanesulfonyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-pyridine (211.2 mg, 79% yield).
