2,5-Hexanedione → HCID 11402477, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 25 mL round bottom flask was added 5-amino-2-bromopyridine (600 mg, 3.5 mmol, 1.0 equiv), hexane-2,5-dione (420 mg, 4.2 mmol, 1.2 equiv), p-toluenesulfonic acid (5 mg), and toluene (3.5 mL). A Dean-Stark trap was fitted on top of the round bottom flask and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 2 h. The reaction was then concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (5% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give 660 mg (76%) of 2-bromo-5-(2,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)pyridine.
