Methanol → 7-Bromo-2-methylsulfanyl-5-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethoxy)-pyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 1-Neck round-bottom flask, 2-Methylsulfanyl-5-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethoxy)-pyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazine (1.05 g, 3.37 mmol), Tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) and Methanol (25 mL) were added and stirred at room temperature. N-Bromosuccinimide (0.630 g, 3.54 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was added to the reaction mixture . The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. LCMS suggested no SM. The solvent was removed under vacuum. The reaction was partitioned with water and Et2O. The organic was separated, washed with Brine and dried over Na2SO4. The solid was filtered and washed with DCM. The solvent was removed under vacuum. The reaction mixture was purified via ISCO column chromatography with hexane and EtOAc as eluant (5 to 20% EtOAc). The collected fractions afforded 7-Bromo-2-methylsulfanyl-5-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethoxy)-pyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazine as an oil (1.10 g, 83%).
