Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium nitrite (64 mg, 0.93 mmol) dissolved in water (0.6 mL), was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 2-amino-4,6-dichloropyridine (prepared according to the method described in Recl. Trav. Chim. Pays-Bas, 1950, 69, 673) (126 mg, 0.77 mmol) in 5% sulphuric acid (aq) (5 mL) at 0° C., over 5 min. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h and then diluted with water (20 mL) and extracted with DCM (3×20 mL). The combined extracts were washed with brine (20 mL), dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to afford the 2,4-dichloro-6-hydroxypyridine (116 mg, 0.71 mmol, 92%) M.S. (ESI) (m/z) 164,166 [M+H]+.
