Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Cyclopropyl-1H-imidazole (1.18 g, 10.9 mmol) was dissolved in methylene chloride (0.1 M), cooled to 5-10° C., and 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (1.59 g, 5.57 mmol) was added. The temperature was maintained between 5-10° C. and the reaction was stirred for 2 hours. Solvent was removed from the reaction mixture under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography (eluting with 1%-7% methanol in methylene chloride, 5% methanol/methylene chloride) to afford 620 mg (37% yield) of 5-bromo-1-cyclopropyl-1H-imidazole.
