N-bromobutanimide → HCID 22625625, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The 6-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazole (0.6 g) prepared above and N-bromosuccinimide (0.45 g) were dissolved in dimethylformamide (5 ml). The mixture was heated to reflux and stirred for 18 h at room temperature. The mixture was diluted with water (60 ml) and allowed to crystallize. The liquid was decanted and the residue was dissolved in methylene chloride and dried with magnesium sulfate. The organic residue was chromatographed on silica gel with hexanes/ethyl acetate (3:1) as eluent to give the desired product as a solid (m.p. 200-202° C.); NMR (CDCl3, 200 MHz) δ: 7.4-7.2 (3H), 4.2 (m, 2H), 3.9 (m, 2H).
