Hydrazine → 2-Bromo-6-hydrazinopyridine

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Hydrazine (27 mL, 83 mmol) was added to 2,6-dibromopyridine (20 g, 84 mmol), and the resulting suspension was heated at 70° C. for 30 min. The solution was cooled to 50° C. and diluted with H2O (150 mL). The resulting solids were stirred for 2 h, collected by filtration, and washed with H2O (350 mL) to provide the title compound (13 g, 83%) as a white solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.87 (s, 1H), 7.34 (overlapping dd, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 6.68 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 6.65 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 4.19 (s, 2H).
