Bromine → 6-((S)-2-Amino-3-phenylpropylamino)-3-bromo-2-(4-pyridyl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of bromine (1.6 gm, 10 mmole) and HOAc (10 mL) was added in three portions to a stirred solution of 6-((S)-2-Amino-3-phenylpropylamino)-2-(4-pyridyl)pyridine (3.04 gm, 10 mmole) in HOAc (20 mL) at rt. After 1 hr, the mixture was concentrated and purified (SiO2, CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH: 100/11/8) to give 6-((S)-2-Amino-3-phenylpropylamino)-3-bromo-2-(4-pyridyl)pyridine. MS (m/z): Calcd. C19H19N4Br (M+): 383, found : 383.1 and 385.1.
