Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5′-chloro-2′-fluoro-N-((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)methyl)-2,4′-bipyridin-6-amine (516 mg, 1.60 mmol) and N-bromosuccinimide (286 mg, 1.60 mmol) in acetonitrile (12 mL) was stirred at 90° C. for 3 hr in a sealed vessel. Volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed sequentially with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and brine. The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated. The crude material was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (heptanes/ethyl acetate gradient) to yield 608 mg of the desired product. LCMS (m/z): 402.0 [M+H]+; Retention time=1.03 min.
