Bromine → Tert-butyl {5-[(2-amino[1,3]thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-5-yl)oxy]-2-fluorophenyl}carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl {5-[(5-aminopyridin-2-yl)oxy]-2-fluorophenyl}carbamate (3.00 g, 9.4 mmol) and potassium thiocyanate (3.93 g, 40 mmol) in acetic acid (40 mL) was added dropwise bromine (2.40 g, 15 mmol) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The yellow insoluble material was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (200 mL) was added to the residue, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL×2). The ethyl acetate layers were combined and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The insoluble material was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was triturated with diethyl ether to give the title compound (3.20 g, 90%) as a pale-yellow powder.
