Hydrochloric Acid → 1-(5-Bromopyridin-2-yl)ethan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a reaction mixture of tert-butyl 2-(5-bromopyridin-2-yl)-2-oxoethylcarbamate (0.36 g, 1.142 mmol) in DCM was added 4 M hydrogen chloride in dioxane (2 ml, 8.00 mmol) and some MeOH. The reaction was stirred at rt for 3 hrs. The reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness to yield 2-amino-1-HCl salf of (5-bromopyridin-2-yl)ethanone (0.32 g) as a yellow solid. LC/MS (Cond. N-1): [M+H]+ 215.13, RT=0.945 min.
