Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(5-bromo-3-pyridinyl)prop-2-en-1-ol (0.85 gms, 3.97 mmol) is diluted with methylene chloride (20 mls). Thionyl chloride (0.27 mls, 97%, leq) is added at room temperature. After one hour a second equivalent of thionyl chloride is added. The reaction is neutralized with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 after an additional hour and extracted with methylene chloride. The organic layer is dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to yield 0.70 gms of an oil (76%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ8.90 (s, 1H), 8.70 (s, 1H), 8.40 (s, 1H), 6.70 (m, 2H), and 4.30 (d, J=3.8 Hz, 2H).
