Benzoyl Peroxide → HCID 67147765, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 3-(benzoyloxy)-4-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2-carboxylate, N-bromo-succinimide (1.2 eq.) and dibenzoylperoxide (70%, 0.13 eq.) in carbon tetrachloride was stirred under reflux for one hour. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, the succinimide was filtered off and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. Methyl 3-(benzoyloxy)-9-bromo-4-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2-carboxylate was obtained after flash chromatography (eluent petroleum ether/ethyl acetate, 1:1) as a pale yellow oil.
