N-bromobutanimide → Ethyl 6-(bromomethyl)picolinate

関与物質

反応手順

Finely ground N-bromo-succinimide (29.4 g, 165.2 mmol) was added in several portions to a solution of 6-methyl-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (24.7 g, 150.0 mmol; available from Aldrich Chemical Company, Inc., Milwaukee, Wis.) in carbon tetrachloride (500 mL), and then benzoyl peroxide (100 mg, 0.4 mmol) was added. The mixture was heated at 84 degrees under nitrogen for approximately 40 h. Further portions of N-bromo-succinimide (14.8 g, 83.2 mmol) and then benzoyl peroxide (100 mg, 0.4 mmol) were added and heating was continued overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, filtered, evaporated, and purified by chromatography on silica gel using a Biotage system, eluting with 1:1 dichloromethane/hexane and dichloromethane to give 6-bromomethyl-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (11.8 g, 32%) as a pale yellow oil. MS (MH+): 244/246. From HPLC, the purity was estimated at 85-90% and the material was used in the next step without further purification.
