Bromine → HCID 178477662, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution crude of 5-ethanesulfonyl-pyridin-2-ol prepared above, and sodium acetate (3.74 g, 45.6 mmol) in acetic acid (50 mL) was added a solution of bromine (7.3 g, 46.0 mmol) in acetic acid (10 mL) dropwise over a period of 1 hour. After being stirred at room temperature overnight, additional bromine (7.3 g, 46.0 mmol) in acetic acid (10 mL) was added dropwise to the reaction mixture over a period of 1 hour. After being stirred overnight, the reaction mixture was warmed to 30° C. and stirred for 2 hours. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo to remove the solvent. The residue was triturated with water (100 mL). The solid was collected by filtration, washed with a dilute solution of sodium thiosulfate and dried in vacuo to afford 3-bromo-5-ethanesulfonyl-pyridin-2-ol (9.1 g, 75%, two steps) as a white solid (reference: Bargar, T. M. et al., J. Heterocyclic Chem. 22 (1985) 1583-1592).
