Bromine → 3-Bromo-7-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine

7-Methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine (100 mg, 0.75 mmol) and sodium acetate (74 mg, 0.90 mmol) were dissolved in methanol (2 ml) which had been saturated with potassium bromide and this mixture was cooled to −10° C. before dropwise addition of bromine (132 mg, 0.83 mmol) over 5 min. On complete addition the mixture was quenched by addition of 1M sodium sulfite solution (2 ml) and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was treated with water (15 ml) and saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate solution (15 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×40 ml). The organics were combined then washed with brine (40 ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to give an off white solid. This solid was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with dichloromethane and 1% conc. ammonia on a gradient of methanol (1-2%) to give 3-bromo-7-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine (100 mg, 63%) as a white crystalline solid: δH (400 MHz, CDCl3) 2.67 (3H, s), 6.87 (1H, d, J 7), 7.71 (1H, s), 8.27 (1H, d, J 7).
