N-bromobutanimide → Acetic acid 3-acetoxy-2-(4-amino-3-bromo-phenyl)-propyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of acetic acid 3-acetoxy-2-(4-amino-phenyl)-propyl ester (Tetrahedron, 46(20), 7081, (1990), 1.2 g, 5.0 mmol) in DCM (50 mL), NBS (903 mg, 5.07 mol) was added at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at RT for 2 h and subjected to the usual work up to obtain acetic acid 3-acetoxy-2-(4-amino-3-bromo-phenyl)-propyl ester (1.4 g, 89%) which was directly used in the next step.
