N-bromobutanimide → 6-bromo-2-(methylthio)pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(methylthio)pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one (1, 1.00 g, 5.18 mmol) in anhydrous dimethylformamide (25 mL) was added N-bromosuccinimide (0.99 g, 5.59 mmol) portionwise at room temperature, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 18 h. The mixture was concentrated, and the solid was triturated with hot water (1×20 mL), filtered, and washed with isopropanol to give title compound as a pale yellow solid (0.68 g, 2.50 mmol, 48%). ESMS m/z 272 (M+H)+; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 12.88 (br. s., 1H), 8.84 (s, 1H), 8.47 (s, 1H), 2.57 (s, 3H).
