N-bromobutanimide → HCID 22139859, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

At room temperature, a solution of N-bromosuccinimide (8 mg) in glacial acetic acid (0.5 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of (5,6-difluoro-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-(4-methylthiophen-3-yl)amine trifluoroacetic acid salt (15 mg, example 45) in glacial acetic acid (0.5 ml) in a ReactiVial, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 h. The acetic acid was then removed under reduced pressure and saturated potassium carbonate solution and ethyl acetate were added to the residue. The organic phase was removed and the aqueous phase was then extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were dried using magnesium sulfate and the drying agent was then filtered off. The residue that remained after removal of the solvent under reduced pressure was purified by preparative chromatography. The product-containing fractions were combined and freed from acetonitrile, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution was added to the residue and the mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The organic phases were combined, dried (MgSO4) and filtered. After removal of the ethyl acetate under reduced pressure, the residue was coevaporated with toluene and then dried under high vacuum. This gave 8.1 mg of the desired compound.
