Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2(1H)-one 3, POBr3 (1.5 equivalents), PBr3 (4 equivalents), and Br2 (2 equivalents) is heated to about 90-110° C. and is then poured into ice water. The mixture is neutralized and extracted. The combined organic phases are dried over Na2SO4 and all solvents removed under reduced pressure to obtain 2-bromo-5-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine 21 in a yield of 88%.
