Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.33 g of 2-methanesulfinyl-5-methyl-pyridine in 20 mL of carbon tetrachloride was added 0.40 g NBS and 6 mg benzoyl peroxide. This mixture was refluxed for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, washed with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, dried over sodium sulphate, and concentrated to dryness. Purification by flash chromatography (silica, heptane/ethyl acetate) provided 0.14 g of 5-bromomethyl-2-methanesulfinyl-pyridine.
