Iodine → 3-Iodo-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-amine (12.0 g), silver(I) sulfate (23.1 g) and ethanol (400 mL) was added iodine (37.6 g) in several parts at room temperature, and the reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. To the reaction solution was added saturated aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution, and the mixture was stirred for 30 min, and neutralize with 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The insoluble substance was removed by filtration, the filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (NH, ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (14.3 g).
