Water → 2-Acetamido-5-bromopyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-5-bromopyridine (0.50 g, 2.9 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added pyridine (343 mg, 4.3 mmol) and acetic anhydride (295 mg, 2.9 mmol) at room temperature and stirred overnight. To the mixture water (30 mL) was added, extracted with ethyl acetate (3×30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and brine, dried over Na2SO4, concentrated to give the title compound (0.58 g, 92%) as a white solid LCMS: 215 [M+2]+; 1HNMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 2.09 (s, 3H), 7.97 (dd, J=8.8, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 8.06 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 8.41 (d, J=1.2 Hz, 1H), 10.64 (s, 1H).
