Bromine → 2-(6-Amino-5-bromopyrimidin-4-yloxy)ethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2-(6-aminopyrimidin-4-yloxy)ethanol (400 mg) in methanol (4 ml) is added dropwise a solution of bromine (437 mg) in methanol (2 ml). The mixture is evaporated to remove the solvent, and the residue is dissolved in ethyl acetate. The mixture is treated with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and extracted with ethyl acetate/tetrahydrofuran. The organic layer is washed, dried, and evaporated to remove the solvent to give 2-(6-amino-5-bromopyrimidin-4-yloxy)ethanol (632 mg).
