Water → 5-Bromo-3-(cyclohexylmethoxy)pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2 g of 3-(cyclohexylmethoxy)pyridin-2-amine in 10 ml of acetic acid was added 1.90 g of N-bromosuccinimide over 30 minutes under ice-cooling, followed by stirring for 30 minutes under ice-cooling. To the reaction mixture were added water and ethyl acetate to carry out a layer separation operation. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 2.25 g of 5-bromo-3-(cyclohexylmethoxy)pyridin-2-amine.
