Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 3-(Aminomethyl)-5-bromopyridine

A solution of 2-((5-bromopyridin-3-yl)methyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (LVII) (1.9 g, 6.0 mmol, 1 eq) and hydrazine hydrate (2.0 g, 40 mmol, 6 eq) in EtOH (20 mL) was heated at 70° C. for 3 h. The mixture was filtered through a Celite® pad and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, the crude product was dissolved in 1N HCl solution (15 mL) and concentrated to dryness, then it was washed with acetone (10 mL×3), the precipitate was collected by filtration, dried in vacuo to give (5-bromopyridin-3-yl)methanamine (LVIII) (1.3 g, 6.95 mmol, 97.7% yield) as a white solid. 1H NMR (D2O, 500 MHz) δ ppm 4.34 (s, 2H), 8.56 (s, 1H), 8.75 (d, J=1.2 Hz, 1H), 8.91 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H). ESIMS found for C6H7BrN2 m/z 187 (M+H).
