Ethyl 4-bromobenzimidate hydrochloride → Ethyl 4-bromobenzene-1-carboximidate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 3000 mL 3-necked flask was placed EtOH (2000 mL). To this was added sequentially Na (7.13 g, 310 mmol) and ethyl 4-bromobenzimidate hydrochloride (82 g, 310 mmol). The resulting solution was allowed to stir for two hours at room temperature, and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to afford ethyl 4-bromobenzenecarboximidoate as a white solid.
