1-Butanol → 5-Fluoro-2-hydrazinylpyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of hydrazine monohydrate (14.75 mL, 304 mmol) and 1-butanol (10 mL) was added 2-chloro-5-fluoropyridine (5.00 g, 38.0 mmol). The solution was microwaved in a sealed, thick-walled glass tube at 180° C. for 1 h. The resulting white suspension was transferred with EtOH to a round bottom flask then concentrated. The resulting white solid was taken up in ethyl acetate (250 mL) and the insoluble material removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated to give the title compound a pale orange solid. This solid was used in the following step without further purification.
