Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A flask was charged with 1,5-naphthyridin-4-ol (1 g, 6.7 mmol) and phosphorousoxybromide (5 g, 17 mmol). The mixture was heated to 150° C., stirred for 1 hour, and then cooled to room temperature. The mixture was poured into ice-water and extracted with toluene. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give crude product, which was re-crystallized from petroleum ether to give 4-bromo-1,5-naphthyridine.
