Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of N-(pyridin-2-yl)thiazol-2-amine (9.76 g, 55.07 mmol) in degassed chloroform (180 mL) was added bromine (3.11 mL, 60.6 mmol, 1.1 eq) at 23° C. The reaction was stirred for 15 minutes and followed by LC/MS. Bromine (2×0.3 mL) was added until reaction completed. The mixture was cooled down to 0° C. and 10% aq. NaHSO3 (150 mL) was added. The suspension changed color and the solid was filtered, washed with water and vacuum dried overnight. The title compound was obtained as a solid (10.79 g, 77%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 6.94-6.99 (1H, m), 7.04 (1H, d, J=8.34 Hz) 7.45 (1H, s), 7.74 (1H, td, J=7.83, 1.77 Hz), 8.31 (1H, d, J=5.31 Hz), 11.54 (1H, s). LC/MS (M+H)+: 256, 258; (M−H)−: 254, 256.
