Reaction Steps

Bromine (0.52 ml.) in chloroform (50 ml.) was added to solution of 2-propionyl 5-trifluoromethylpyridine (2.03 g.) in chloroform (20 ml.) over 1 hour under photoflood illumination. After addition was complete the reaction was stirred for 16 hours at room temperature. The reaction was then poured into water, and the organic phase was separated, washed with water, dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated to dryness to give 2-(2-bromopropionyl)-5-trifluoromethylpyridine as an oil which was used without further purification.
