N-bromobutanimide → HCID 59354807, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To stirred solution of crude 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethylfuran-3(2H)-one (2.1 g, 13.0 mmol) in CHCl3 (15 mL), NBS (3.93 g, 22.10 mmol) was added portionwise at RT. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h and then diluted with DCM (100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (50 mL) and brine (30 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and then concentrated in vacuo to obtain the crude product. The crude material was purified via silica gel column chromatography to afford 4-bromo-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethylfuran-3(2H)-one (2.0 g, 51% over three steps) as an off-white solid.
