Hydrogen Bromide → 2-Amino-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-6-ol hydrobromide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-methoxy[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-2-amine (780 mg, 4.75 mmol), 48% hydrobromic acid (3 mL) was stirred under refluxing conditions for 7 hr. 48% Hydrobromic acid (2 mL) was further added and the mixture was stirred under refluxing conditions for 3 hr. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and diisopropyl ether (2 mL) and ethanol (1 mL) were added to the residue. The precipitate was collected by filtration, and washed with diisopropyl ether to give the title compound (984 mg, 89%) as a brown solid.
