N-bromobutanimide → 6-Bromo-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-5-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-5-carbonitrile (145-1; 1.5 g, 0.0087 mol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) was added N-bromosuccinimide (1.8 g, 0.01046 mol) portion wise at 0° C. Reaction mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 12 h. It was concentrated and diluted with ice cold water (100 mL) with constant stirring; the solid residue obtained was filtered and dried to obtain the title compound. MS (M+1): 251.2.
