Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1.96 g (8.46 mmol) 2-amino-4-furan-2-yl-6-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile in 8 ml DMF was added dropwise a solution of 1.58 g (8.88 mmol) N-bromosuccinimide in 7 ml DMF and stirring continued at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was then poured into 500 ml ice-water and the resulting precipitate collected by filtration and washed with water and then ether to afford 2.50 g (95%) 2-amino-4-(5-bromo-furan-2-yl)-6-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile as a light brown crystalline solid. ES-MS m/e (%): 311 ([M{81Br}-H]−, 100), 309 ([M{79Br}-H]−, 95).
