Participants

Reaction Steps

To (4-chloro-benzyl)-(6-chloro-pyridin-2-yl)-amine (538, 4.00 g, 0.0158 mol) in acetonitrile (66.7 mL, 1.28 mol) under an atmosphere of nitrogen, N-bromosuccinimide (2.81 g, 0.0158 mol) in acetonitrile (20 mL) was added slowly. The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight, then poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated and crystallized with ethyl acetate in hexane to give a white solid (539, 2.60 g, 95.3%).
