Procedure

To a solution of 5-bromo-2-methylpyridin-3-amine (3.2 g, 17 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 mL) was added pyridine (2.03 g, 25.7 mmol) and acetic anhydride (2.63 g, 25.7 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 16 h. The mixture was poured into water (80 mL) and extracted with dichloromethane (3×150 mL). The organic layer was concentrated in vacuo, and the resultant residue was purified by flash column chromatography (15→30% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) to afford N-(5-bromo-2-methylpyridin-3-yl)acetamide (3.1 g, 80% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, Chloroform-d) δ 8.48 (s, 1 H), 8.32 (s, 1 H), 7.09 (br s. 1 H), 2.45 (s, 3 H), 2.23 (s, 3 H).
