Acetic Acid → 5-Bromo-2-(isopropylamino)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

75 ml of acetic acid, 13.7 g (0.1 mole) of 2-isopropylamino-pyrimidine and 17.8 g (0.1 mole) of N-bromosuccinimide are poured into a 1 liter reaction vessel. The reaction mixture is stirred for 1 hour at room temperature and then poured into iced water. The resultant precipitate is filtered off, washed with water and dried. 20 g (yield 92%) of the title compound was obtained as a white powder melting at 90° C. Elemental analysis showed that the compound had the expected empirical formula of C7H10N3Br.
