Yield: 96%
Reaction Conditions:
with Lawessons reagent in toluene for 1 h;Inert atmosphere;Reflux;
Steps:
Lawesson's reagent (available from Aldrich Chemical Company, Inc., 1001 West Saint Paul Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis. 53233, USA; 2.32 g, 5.74 mmol) was added in portions to a suspension of 5-bromo-2(1H)-pyridone (available from Aldrich Chemical Company, Inc., 1001 West Saint Paul Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis. 53233, USA; 2 g, 11.5 mmol) in dry toluene (50 mL) under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 1 h and then cooled to room temperature. The product that precipitated on cooling was collected by filtration and dried under high vacuum to give 5-bromo-pyridine-2-thiol (2.1 g, 96%), which was used directly in the next step without further purification.
