N-bromobutanimide → tert-butyl N-(5-bromo-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Tert-butyl 1,3-thiazol-2-ylcarbamate (90 g, 449.8 mmol, 1 eq.) is taken in THF (1.4 L) to which is added N-bromosuccinimide (88.06 g, 494.8 mmol, 1.1 eq.) portion wise. The reaction mixture is then stirred at RT overnight. The reaction mass is concentrated to remove THF. The crude is purified by column chromatography to get the titled produce. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz): δ 11.73 (bs, 1H), 7.42 (s, 1H), 1.46 (s, 9H).
