Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromo-2-fluoropyridine (2.0 g, 11.4 mmol) in pyridine (10 mL) was added hydrazine (5 mL, 159 mmol). The mixture was heated at 70° C. for 2 hours, then cooled to room temperature. The volatile organics were removed under reduced pressure, then water (60 mL) was added to the residue and an off-white solid precipitated. The solid was filtered, washed with water, and dried under reduced pressure at 50° C. to give 1.77 g (84%) of the title compound as an off-white solid. m/z (ES+) 188, 190 (M+H)+.
