[0019]
Example 1
A reactor having an internal volume of 1000 L was charged with ethyl acetate (325 kg), sodium acetate (58 kg, 707 mol) and 2-methoxypyridine (68.7 kg, 630 mol). Bromine (122.3 kg, 765 mol) was added dropwise to the mixture over 6.5 hours while maintaining the internal temperature so as not to exceed 10 ° C. After completion of the dropwise addition, the internal temperature was raised to 20 ° C. and reacted for 5 hours. The conversion rate at this point was 73%. Thereafter, the internal temperature was raised to 50 ° C., and the reaction was driven for 5 hours. The conversion rate at this point was 98%. After cooling the reaction mixture, water (70 kg) was added, and sodium hydroxide (46.1 kg) and sodium sulfite (17 kg) were dissolved in water (200 kg) while maintaining the internal temperature not exceeding 5 ° C. The resulting solution was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand for liquid separation, and after confirming that the pH of the aqueous layer was 8 or more and no peroxide was present, the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (40 kg), and the extract and the above organic layer were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to give crude 5-bromo-2-methoxypyridine (gross: 121.8 kg, net: 110. 7 kg, 93% yield). The crude product was purified by distillation under reduced pressure to obtain 99% or more 5-bromo-2-methoxypyridine (101.8 kg, yield 86%) having the following physical properties.
