Pyridine → 1-[2-(5-Bromo-pyridin-3-yl)-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-bromo-5-(2-pyrrolidinyl)pyridine (200 mg, 0.881 mmol) and pyridine (0.2 mL, 1.96 mmol) in DCM (1 mL) in a 8-mL vial is added acetic anhydride (0.093 mL, 0.969 mmol) dropwise. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2.5 h. The mixture is concentrated. The resulting crude product is purified by normal phase chromatography using 0-4.5% MeOH in DCM as the gradient to afford 1-[2-(5-bromo-pyridin-3-yl)-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-ethanone (313 mg, 83% yield).
