Ammonium Chloride → 3-Bromo-2-methoxy-5-nitropyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A sodium ethoxide solution (28% in MeOH) (1 ml) was added to an MeOH (3 ml) solution containing 3-bromo-2-chloro-5-nitropyridine (100 mg), followed by stirring at room temperature for 0.5 hours. A saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution was added to the reaction solution and MeOH was distilled away under reduced pressure. An insoluble precipitate was washed with water and a white solid of 3-bromo-2-methoxy-5-nitropyridine (69 mg) was thus obtained.
