N-bromobutanimide → 5-Bromo-6-methoxy-3-nitropyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 6-methoxy-3-nitropyridin-2-amine (1.56 g, 9.2 mmol) in 15 mL of DMF at rt was added N-bromosuccimide (1.81 g, 10.1 mmol) in portions. The resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 1 h. TLC showed the reaction was complete. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and the reddish brown solid was collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried in a vacuum oven to give 5-bromo-6-methoxy-3-nitropyridin-2-amine (2.1 g, 92%). LCMS (ESI) m/z 248, 250 (M+H)+.
