Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3-Bromo-5-bromomethyl-pyridine (7.5 g, 30 mmol) is dissolved in EtOH (200 mL). The solution is cooled down to 0° C. Sodium thiomethoxide (3.1 g, 45 mmol) is added slowly and the reaction mixture is stirred for 16 hrs. Then the solvent is removed, water and EtOAc are added. The aqueous layer is separated and extracted with EtOAc. Organic layers are combined and concentrated to give 6.0 g of the 3-bromo-5-methylsulfanylmethyl-pyridine.
