Dimethylformamide → 2-Bromo-5-[(propan-2-yl)oxy]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Bromopropane (1.13 mL, 12 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.43 g, 10.4 mmol) were successively added to a DMF (10 mL) solution of 6-bromopyridin-3-ol (1 g, 5.75 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 80 degrees for 2 hours. The solution was brought back to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate, and washed twice with distilled water, and once with saturated brine. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the target (1.28 g, 100%).
