Bromoacetyl bromide → HCID 178471769, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution containing the product from Example 1B (1.5 g, 6.1 mmol) and AlCl3 (2.4 g, 18 mmol) in 10 mL of dichloromethane at 0° C. was added bromoacetyl bromide (0.55 mL, 6.2 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min, to one hour. Upon completion of the reaction as monitored by thin layer chromatography, the reaction mixture was poured into ice-cold water (100 mL), and extracted with dichloromethane (2×100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the resulting oil was purified by flash chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane, 1/8) to afford the title compound as a white solid. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 1.13 (m, 2H), 1.19 (t, J=7.06 Hz, 3H), 1.50 (m, 2H), 1.70-1.85 (m, 5H), 2.22 (d, J=6.75 Hz, 2H), 2.56 (m, 1H), 4.07 (q, J=7.06 Hz, 3H), 4.88 (s, 2H), 7.41 (d J=8.28 Hz, 2H), 8.92 (d, J=8.28 Hz, 2H); MS (ESI) m/z 367.1 [M+H]+.
