Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Pyrrolidine (1.74 ml) was added to 2-chloro-5-iodopyridine (1 g) in dimethylacetamide (5 ml) and the solution heated at 120° C. for 4 h. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into water (60 ml) and the solid precipitate collected by filtration. Recrystallisation from ethyl acetate gave the product as off-white needles (0.33 g); the remaining material was adsorbed onto silica and purified by column chromatography eluting with 0 to 3% ethyl acetate in hexane to give a white solid (0.65 g).
