Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(2,3-Dibromopropoxy)pyridin-3-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of intermediate (8) (0.0248 mol), HCl (35.42 ml)and ethanol (40 ml) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum. The concentrate was cooled on an ice-water bath. The mixture was neutralized with a saturated NaHCO3 solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried, filtered and evaporated till dryness. The residue was purified by open column chromatography (eluent: CH2Cl2; CH2Cl2/MeOH (98/2, 96/4 and 90/10)). The pure fractions were collected and the solvent was evaporated, yielding 4.27 g of (±)-4-(2,3-dibromopropoxy)-3-pyridinol (intermediate 9).
