Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-bromopyridin-2-amine (10 g, 58 mmol) in acetonitrile (150 mL) was added 1-chloropyrrolidine-2,5-dione (8.1 g, 60 mmol) and the mixture was heated at 80° C. for 10 hours. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (200 mL) and washed with water. The organic phase was concentrated and purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 30% ethyl acetate in hexane) to afford the title compound. LCMS: 208 (M+H)+.
