2-Bromopyridine is an aryl bromide and isomer of bromopyridine with the formula BrC5H4N. It is a colorless liquid that is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It can be prepared from 2-aminopyridine via diazotization followed by bromination. [2]

Contents

Reactions

Like 2-chloropyridine, 2-bromopyridine is very weakly basic.

2-Bromopyridine reacts with butyllithium to give 2-lithiopyridine, [3] which is a versatile reagent. [4] Pyrithione can be prepared in a two-step synthesis from 2-bromopyridine by oxidation to the N-oxide with a suitable peracid followed by substitution using either sodium dithionite or sodium sulfide with sodium hydroxide to introduce the thiol functional group. [5]

Applications

Organometallic addition to benzophenone followed by catalytic hydrogenation is the synthesis of pipradrol.
