Azobisisobutyronitrile → 4-Bromo-2-(bromomethyl)-5-methoxypyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-bromo-5-methoxy-2-methyl-pyridine (Step AL3) (1.9 g, 9.4 mmol), NBS (1.8 g, 9.9 mmol), AIBN (15 mg, 0.094 mmol) and benzoyl peroxide (23 mg, 0.094 mmol) in CCl4 (2 mL) was stirred at rt for 18 h. The reaction mixture was dissolved in EtOAc and extracted with a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3, washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/EtOAc, 100:0→70:30). ESI-MS: tR=0.90 min, [M+H]+ 281.9 (LC-MS 1).
