Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromo-2-fluoropyridine (23.75 g, 135 mmol) in ethanol (120 mL) was added hydrazine monohydrate (65.5 mL, 1350 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 45° C. for 16 h then concentrated. The resulting solid was triturated with water, collected by filtration, rinsed with water, and dried under vacuum, to give the title compound (23.2 g) as a white solid. LCMS m/z=188.0 [M+H]+; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 4.19 (s, 2H), 6.69 (dd, J=5.3, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 6.92 (d, J=1.7 Hz, 1H), 7.69 (s, 1H), 7.84 (d, J=5.3 Hz, 1H).
