Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-2-chloropyrimidine (600 mg) in THF (10 mL) was added isopropylamine (5.30 mL) and the reaction heated at 65° C. for 16 h. After cooling to room temperature the mixture was poured into 2 M aqueous HCl (30 mL) and washed with dichloromethane (30 mL). The aqueous layer was made basic with sodium carbonate and the product extracted into dichloromethane (3×20 mL). The organic layers were dried (MgSO4) and reduced in vacuo to give (5-bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-isopropylamine as an off-white solid.
