Carbon tetrabromide → HCID 86718158, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(2-methoxypyridin-4-yl)ethanol (commercially available) (700 mg, 4.57 mmol,), CBr4 (2.27 g, 6.85 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (1.8 g, 6.85 mmol) in 75 mL toluene was stirred at RT for 64 h. The mixture was filtered over a silica-plug and washed with toluene. The filtrate concentrated under vacuum to yield the crude product. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica eluting with a gradient formed from heptane and EtOAc to yield, after evaporation of the product containing fraction, 624 mg (63%) of the title compound as colourless liquid. MS (m/e): 216.2 (MH+).
