Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(5-bromo-2-methoxypyridin-3-yl)ethanone (2.0 g, 8.69 mmol) in HBr (20 mL, HOAc solution), Br2 (1.4 g, 8.76 mmol) was added dropwise at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. Then the reaction mixture was filtered to collect the HBr salt. The solid was suspended with Na2CO3 solution, extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to provide 2-bromo-1-(5-bromo-2-hydroxypyridin-3-yl)ethanone (2.0 g, yield: 74%). 1H-NMR (DMSO, 400 MHz) δ 12.83 (br s, 1H), 8.11˜8.13 (m, 2H), 4.85 (s, 2H). MS (M+H)+: 295.
