Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-bromo-5-chloropyridin-2-amine (1 g, 4.82 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) at 0° C. added tert-butylnitrite (1.145 mL, 9.64 mmol) followed by pyridine hydrofluoride (3 mL, 9.64 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes. The mixture was quenched with water and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with water and brine (25 mL each), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to afford of the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 6.90-6.93 (m, 1H), 7.80-7.84 (m, 1H).
