Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-bromo-2-fluoronicotinaldehyde (0.580 g, 2.8 mmol), 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid (0.060 g, 0.35 mmol) and anhydrous hydrazine (0.450 ml, 14 mmol) in 5 mL of i-PrOH was heated at 145° C. for 15 min in the microwave (Initiator by Biotage). The reaction was diluted with H2O and the solid was filtered washed with H2O and air-dried to give a white amorphous solid. MS (M+H)+ 198, 200.
