N-bromobutanimide → HCID 66552358, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-(5-aminopyridin-2-yl)benzoate (7.52 g, 31.06 mmol) in DMF (150 mL) was added N-bromosuccinimide (5.58 g, 31.37 mmol) at 0° C. for 5 min. The reaction mixture was quenched with satd. NaHCO3 solution (150 mL) at 0° C. The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography using a 85:15 v/v hexane:ethyl acetate as solvent to afford ethyl 3-(5-amino-6-bromopyridin-2-yl)benzoate (8.6 g, 86% yield) as a reddish brown solid.
