Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To formic acid (12 mL) was added acetic anhydride (12 mL) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. 6-Bromo-2-methoxypyridin-3-amine (8.8 g) was gradually added to the reaction mixture at 0° C. over 10 min, and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. IPE (50 mL) and hexane (50 mL) were added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The obtained solid was collected by filtration to give the title compound (8.1 g).
