N-bromobutanimide → HCID 18993184, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-bromosuccinimide (5.94 g, 33 mmol) in hexanes (16 mL) was added 5-methyl-2-carboxymethylthiophene (5.0 g, 32 mmol), prepared as in step 1, followed by 1 drop of perchloric acid. The reaction mixture was stirred for 22 hours at ambinet temperature and then partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous HaHSO3 solution. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give 6.17 g of 5-bromomethyl-2-carboxymethylthiophene as a yellow oil.
