Carbon Tetrachloride → tert-Butyl 4-(bromomethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-1-carboxylate

참여 물질

반응 단계

A mixture of 4-methylbenzimidazole-1-carboxylic acid, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester (6.50 g, 28.0 mmol) and N-bromosuccinimide (5.50 g, 30.9 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (75 mmol) was stirred and irradiated with a 250 W flood lamp for 1 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool and the solid was filtered off and discarded. The filtrate was evaporated and purified by HPLC (20% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give 4-(bromomethyl)benzimidazole-1-carboxylic acid, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester (3.69 g, 42%).
