Malonic Acid → 3-Amino-3-(5-bromopyridin-3-yl)propionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

9.50 g (51.07 mmol) 5-bromopyridine-3-carbaldehyde were suspended in 22 ml ethanol. 5.31 g (51.07 mmol) propanedioic acid and 8.27 g (107.25 mmol) ammonium acetate were added. The mixture was refluxed for 4 hours and after cooling to room temperature filtrated. The residue was washed with cold ethanol and dried in vacuum at 45° C. to give 8.69 g (69%) 3-amino-3-(5-bromo-pyridin-3-yl)propionic acid.
