N-bromobutanimide → 3-bromo-5-(4-methyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice cold solution of 5-(4-methyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)pyridin-2-amine (50 mg, 0.26 mmol) in DCM (5 mL) was added NBS (50.9 mg, 0.28 mmol) in two portions. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 40 min. The reaction solution was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, aqueous sodium bicarbonate, brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered off, and concentrated to give 3-bromo-5-(4-methyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)pyridin-2-amine (70 mg, 0.26 mmol, 99% yield) as yellow color residue. LCMS (m/z): 271/273 (MH+), 0.41 min.
