Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-bromo-N-((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)methyl)pyridin-2-amine (20 g, 74 mmol) in acetonitrile (240 mL) was added NCS (9.85 g, 74 mmol). The mixture was heated to 80° C. for 3 hr. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was diluted with brine (200 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×200 mL). The combined organic layers were concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography [SiO2, EtOAc/heptane=0/100 to 50/50] providing 6-bromo-5-chloro-N-((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)methyl)pyridin-2-amine (12 g) and a mixture of 6-bromo-3,5-dichloro-N-((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)methyl)pyridin-2-amine/6-bromo-3-chloro-N-((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)methyl)pyridin-2-amine (5 g, ratio ˜2:3).
