Water → 3-(3-Bromo-4-chloro-2-methylbenzofuran-7-yl)-1-methyl-6-trifluoromethyluracil

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.0 g (2.8 mmol) of 3-(4-chloro-2-methylbenzofuran-7-yl)-1-methyl-6-trifluoromethyluracil was dissolved in 30 ml of acetic acid, and 0.9 g (5.6 mmol) of bromine was dropwise added thereto at room temperature. After completion of the dropwise addition, stirring was carried out at 40° C. for 6 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed sequentially with water and 10% aqueous ammonia and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. Then, the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 0.6 g (yield: 50.0%) of a pale yellow glassy substance. Refractive index: 1.5632 (20° C.).
