Bromine → methyl 4-(4-(5-bromothiazol-2-yl)-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To the mixture of methyl 4-(4-(thiazol-2-yl)-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)benzoate (570 mg, 1.88 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was added a 1M solution of bromine in DMF (1.9 mL, 1.88 mmol). After 2 hours, additional 1M solution of bromine in DMF (1.9 mL, 1.88 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was then concentrated to half its volume and poured into water (25 mL). The resulting solid was filtered and washed with water and dried to give methyl 4-(4-(5-bromothiazol-2-yl)-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)benzoate. 1H NMR (400 MHz, dmso-d6): δ 7.99 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H); 7.58 (s, 1H); 7.41 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H); 3.87 (s, 3H); 3.91-3.84 (m, 2H); 3.73-3.68 (m, 2H); 2.63-2.59 (m, 2H); 2.41-2.37 (m, 2H); MS found for C16H16BrNO3S (m/z): 3840.3 [M++1].
