N-bromobutanimide → HCID 67175416, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-methyl-1,3-dihydro-benzoimidazol-2-one (1.00 g, 6.76 mmol) as prepared in Example 1, N-bromosuccinimide (1.30 g, 7.30 mmol) and 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (0.05 g, 0.29 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (15 ml) was heated under reflux for 4 h. When cooled to room temperature, the mixture was filtered and the solid was recrystallised from methanol to give (17) as a beige solid (0.80 g). Furthermore, the solid insoluble in methanol was collected to give more (17) (0.50 g) and the solids were combined (1.30 g, 85%).
