The use of pyridine‐4‐thiol (PT) to preserve certain aryl bromides in strong alkali is reported ( Scheme 1 ). The presence of this additive or of some of its amphoteric analogs such as 3‐hydroxypyridin‐4(1 H )‐ones suppresses the replacement of the Br‐substituent by hydroxide and alkoxide ions. A mechanistic interpretation of the effect is proposed.
