Reaction Steps

To a vial flushed with argon was added 4-bromo-2-hydrazinylpyridine (1.88 g, 10 mmol) and acetic acid (2.5 mL). The mixture was refluxed at 125° C. under argon for 16 hours. After cooling to room temperature, acetic acid was distilled off, and to the residue was added saturated NaHCO3 (150 mL) and DCM (150 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM, the organic extracts were combined, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to give the product. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.95-7.90 (m, 1H), 7.73 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 1H), 6.94 (dd, J=7.3, 1.7 Hz, 1H), 2.74 (s, 3H).
