Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 4,5-dichloropyridin-2-amine (0.25 g, 1.53 mmol) in dichloromethane (25 mL) was added 1,1′-thiocarbonyldipyridin-2(1H)-one (0.36 g, 1.56 mmol). The reaction was stirred at 40° C. for 3 hours, then cooled to room temperature. The crude material was purified by chromatography (Biotage: 25-100% ethyl acetate/hexane) to yield 4,5-dichloro-2-isothiocyanatopyridine (0.26 g, 1.27 mmol, 83% yield) as a yellow powder. The product was carried directly to the next step.
