Potassium Carbonate → 2-Amino-5-bromo-6-(2-furyl)nicotinonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-Bromosuccinimide (3.5 g, 19.7 mmol) was added to a solution (60 ml) of 2-amino-6-(2-furyl)nicotinonitrile (4.0 g, 21.6 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide in a nitrogen atmosphere at 1 to 2° C., followed by stirring as it was. After 30 minutes, the reaction solution was diluted with ethyl acetate and an aqueous saturated solution of potassium carbonate. The organic layer was washed with an aqueous saturated solution of potassium carbonate and an aqueous saturated solution of ammonium chloride, then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. Methanol was added to the residue, and the resulting solid was collected by filtration and washed with methanol, to give the title compound (3.02 g, 53%) as a brown solid.
