N-bromobutanimide → HCID 59282984, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-Bromosuccinimide (200 mg, 1 mmol) was added to a mixture of 2-(1-ethoxyvinyl)-5-fluoropyridine (200 mg, 1 mmol) in THF (6 mL) and water (2 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 min., diluted with EtOAc and washed with brine. The combined organic layer was dried with MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give 2-bromo-1-(5-fluoropyridin-2-yl)ethanone as a clear oil, which was used in the next step.
