N-bromobutanimide → HCID 178499145, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-bromosuccinimide (0.900 g, 5.0 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of methyl 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate (0.630 g, 5.0 mmol) in CH3CN (50 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h in the dark and then concentrated in the presence of silica gel. The absorbed crude material was purified by column chromatography (20-100% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford the title compound (0.708 g, 70%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 11.00 (br. s., 1H), 7.81 (s, 1H), 3.81 (s, 3H). ES-LCMS: m/z 204.9, 206.9 (M+1).
