Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of tert-butyl 2-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)hydrazinecarboxylate (0.688 g, 2.73 mmol) and 5-bromo-2-nitropyridine (0.554 mg, 2.73 mmol) and caesium carbonate (1.33 g, 4.08 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (7 mL) was stirred overnight at 80° C. The solution was concentrated and the residue was taken with dichloromethane and water. The organic phase was dried on MgSO4 and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 5% MeOH in CH2Cl2), to give 736 mg of the mixture nitropyridine and bromopyridine.
