Water → 2-(2-Bromo-thiophen-3-yl)-4-chloro-pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-chloro-2-thiophen-3-yl-pyridine (755 mg, 3.9 mmol), prepared from 2-thiopheneboronic acid via the method outlined in Example 26, Step A, and N-bromosuccinimide (712 mg, 4 mmol) in DMF (6 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 8 h. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried and concentrated to yield a residue. The residue was recrystallized from EtOH to yield 2-(2-bromo-thiophen-3-yl)-4-chloro-pyridine as a solid.
