Reaction Steps

12 g of the N-(4-chloro-3-hydroxymethylphenyl)-2-methyl-3-furancarboxamide prepared in Step 5 above, was dissolved in 180 ml ethyl acetate. 1.8 ml of phosphorus tribromide was then added. The resultant mixture was stirred for 90 minutes at room temperature. 100 ml of water was then added to the mixture. The resultant organic phase was separated, washed with water, aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and water, and then dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated off to produce 12.97 g of N-(3-bromomethyl-4-chlorophenyl)-2-methyl-3-furancarboxamide as a solid.
