3-Bromopyridine → HCID 12127979, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under an argon atmosphere, a tetrahydrofuran solution (1.5 ml, 3 mmol) of isopropylmagnesium chloride was added dropwise to a tetrahydrofuran (2 ml) solution of 3-bromopyridine (286 μl, 3 mmol) under ice cooling. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 60 minutes. To the resulting brown solution thus obtained was added dropwise 2,5-difluorobenzaldehyde (328 μl, 3 mmol) under ice cooling. The temperature of the reaction mixture was gradually raised to room temperature. A saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The solvent was then dried. The residue remaining after concentration under reduced pressure was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1) to give the title compound (296 mg, 45%) as needle crystals.
