Overview | 2-amino-4-methyl-3, 5-dibromopyridine is an organic intermediate that can be obtained from 2-amino-4-methylpyridine bromide preparation. PCT Int. Appl., 2000021963 reported that 2-amino -4-methyl -3, 5-dibromopyridine can be used to prepare IL-8 receptor antagonists. As a IL-8 receptor antagonist, compounds are beneficial for diseases related to increased IL-8 production (which is responsible for chemotaxis of neutrophils and T-cell subtypes to inflammatory sites). |
Preparation method | Bromine (1.9mL,37.0mmol) was added dropwise to the slurry of 2-amino-4-methylpyridine (4.00g,37.0mmol) in fuming sulfuric acid (20mL) at 0°C. The resulting red/brown mixture was stirred under reflux for 2 hours, and then poured into ~ 200g of ice to obtain a yellow slurry. 10NNaOH was slowly added to the mixture until pH ~ 12, then the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2(3 × 50mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuum to give the product 2-amino -4-methyl -3, 5-dibromopyridine as a light orange solid with a yield of 5.35g,54%. |
