Bromine → 6-Bromo-n-(5-bromo-2-thiazolyl)pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of bromine (1.1 mL, 20.9 mmol) in acetic acid (15 mL) was added dropwise to a solution of 2-[(6-bromo-2-pyridinyl)amino]thiazole (2.68 g, 10.46 mmol) in acetic acid (23 mL) at 40° C. After addition, the mixture was stirred at rt. for 3 h. The mixture was diluted with aqueous potassium hydrogen sulfate solution (60 mL) at 0° C. and stirred for several min. The precipitated solid was filtered, washed several times with water and dried in vacuo over P2O5 to obtain the titled compound (3.28 g, 94%) as an off-white solid.
