ethyl 6-bromopicolinate is a model compound for the preliminary screening of dimerization reaction.
Preparation
Ethyl 6-bromopicolinate was prepared by monolithiation of 2,6-dibromopyridine followed by a reaction with ethyl formate and subsequently by a reaction with iodine in ethanol (Scheme 57). This three-step procedure furnished the required ethyl 6-bromopicolinate in 45% yield.
