Sodium Thiosulfate → Tert-butyl 4-(2-amino-5-bromopyridin-3-yl)-2-fluorobenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl 4-(2-aminopyridin-3-yl)-2-fluorobenzoate (700 mg, 2.43 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL) was treated with NBS (453 mg, 2.55 mmol). After 10 min, the reaction was completed. The reaction was treated with 1:1 sat. aq. NaHCO3: sat.aq. Na2S2O3 (10 mL). The mixture was stirred vigorously for 10 min. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (30 mL) and the layers were separated. The organics were washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to provide tert-butyl 4-(2-amino-5-bromopyridin-3-yl)-2-fluorobenzoate (803 mg, 90% yield). LCMS (m/z): 367.2, 369.2 (MH+), 0.75 min.
