N-bromobutanimide → HCID 67461721, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 2-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-1,3-dimethoxybenzene (500 mg, 2.40 mmol) in THF (25 mL) was added N-bromosuccinimide (430 mg, 2.40 mmol) and the resultant reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 4 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the obtained residue was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). The combined ethyl acetate layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 1-Bromo-3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-2,4-dimethoxybenzene as a solid (500 mg, 73%).
