Isopropyl iodide → 5-Bromo-2-(1-methylethoxy)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-1H-pyridin-2-one (2 g) and silver carbonate (4.3 g) in chloroform (40 mL) was added isopropyl iodide (11.5 mL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through silica gel (20 g) and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The resultant crude product was purified by a column chromatography on silica gel (solvent; hexane/ethyl acetate=98:2→90:10) to give 5-bromo-2-isopropyloxypyridine (2.41 g, yield: 97%).
