N-bromobutanimide → HCID 118598927, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-fluoro-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-2-carboxylate (4, 1 g, 5.84 mmol) in acetonitrile (25 mL) is added N-bromosuccinimide (1.56 g, 8.76 mmol). The reaction is stirred at reflux for 2 h. The resulting mixture is pour into half saturated aqueous sodium bisulfite and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers are combined, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude is purified via flash chromatography to afford methyl 5-bromo-4-fluoro-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-2-carboxylate (5).
