Water → 2-Bromo-6-iodo-3-propoxypyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (1.38 g) and n-propyl iodide (1.13 g) were added to a solution of 2-bromo-6-iodopyridin-3-ol (1.0 g, described in WO 2007088996) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for two hours. The reaction solution was poured into water, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered, after which the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give 2-bromo-6-iodo-3-propoxypyridine as a crude product.
