Reaction Steps

4 g (0.02 mol) of 5-bromo-3-acetyl-pyridine are dissolved in 50 ml of chloroform, 5 drops of glacial acetic acid/hydrobromic acid (35%) are added and the mixture is heated to boiling. To this boiling solution, 3.2 g (0.02 mol) of bromine in 30 ml of chloroform are added dropwise over a period of 5 hours with stirring. After cooling to ambient temperature the yellow solid product is suction filtered.
