Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(hydroxymethyl)pyridin-2(1H)-one (150 mg, 1.2 mmol) and aqueous hydrogen bromide (48%, 10 mL) was heated to 100° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 4-(bromomethyl)pyridin-2(1H)-one as a brown solid (225 mg, 100%), which was directly used for next step without further purification. MS (ES+) C6H6BrNO requires: 188. found: 189 [M+H]+.
