Participants

Reaction Steps

Br2 (0.52 mL, 0.01 mol) was added to a solution of 6-aminonicotinonitrile (1.1901 g, 0.01 mol) in AcOH (10 mL) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Then the mixture was concentrated and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography to give the title product (980.0 mg, 49%).
