Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution methyl 5-bromonicotinate (5 g, 23 mmol) in ethanol (40 mL) was added hydrazine hydrate (6 mL, 115 mmol). The reaction mixture was refluxed at 90° C. for 4 h. After this time, the reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness and then redissolved in ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, dried and evaporated to yield 5-bromonicotinohydrazide (3.4 g, 72%). LCMS Method T: retention time 0.573 min; [M+1]=216.0, 218.0.
