Reaction Steps

To (6-chloro-pyridin-2-yl)-(6-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-amine (567, 4.50 g, 0.0156 mol) in acetonitrile (120.0 mL) under an atmosphere of nitrogen, N-bromosuccinimide (3.03 g, 0.0170 mol) in acetonitrile (50 mL) was added slowly. The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight, then poured into water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated and purified with silica gel column chromatography eluting with 25% to 100% ethyl acetate in hexane to give a white solid (568, 6.20 g, 80.2%).
