Hydrochloric Acid → 2-Bromo-6-iodopyridin-3-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Bromo-pyridin-3-ol (5 g) is dissolved in water (150 ml) and thereto are added sodium carbonate (6.15 g) and iodine (7.65 g) and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Thereto are added a 1N-hydrochloric acid and ethyl acetate, and the mixture is separated, and the organic layer is washed with a saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=9:1→3:1) to give 2-bromo-6-iodo-pyridin-3-ol (4.52 g). MS (m/z): 300/302 [M+H]+
