Hydrogen Bromide → 4-Chloro-3-iodopyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of aqueous HBr (48%, 10 mL, 13.26 mmol) was added to tert-butyl (4-chloro-3-iodopyridin-2-yl)carbamate (4.7 g, 13.26 mmol) and the suspension was stirred at RT for 3 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (40 ml), basified with 2N NaOH and the resultant suspension was filtered, washed with water (4×1 mL) and dried to afford 4-chloro-3-iodopyridin-2-amine as white solid (3.05 g, 90% yield). MS (ESI) m/z: 254.9 (M+H+).
