(Diethylamino)sulfur trifluoride → 2-Bromo-6-(fluoromethyl)pyridine

Temperature

-78 °C

A solution of (6-bromopyridin-2-yl)methanol (5 g, 27 mmol) in dry DCM (60 mL) was added dropwise at −78° C. to a cooled solution of DAST (13 g, 80 mmol) in dry DCM (50 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred 1 h at −78° C. then 1 h at room temperature. To complete the reaction, an additional 5 mL of DAST were slowly added at −60° C. and the reaction mixture was kept overnight at room temperature. The reaction was quenched with water and the organic layer extracted with DCM, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated. Purification over silicagel chromatography (prepacked 85 g silicagel column, Cyclohexane/AcOEt: 90/10 as eluent) to afford 4.50 g of 2-bromo-6-(fluoromethyl)pyridine
