Triethylamine → 3-bromo-4-[[(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl](2,2-difluoroethyl)amino]furan-2(5H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

313 mg (1.08 mmol) of 4-[[(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl](2,2-difluoroethyl)amino]furan-2(5H)-one (1) are dissolved in 20 ml of acetonitrile, and 166 μl (1.19 mmol) of triethylamine and 386 mg (2.17 mmol) of N-bromosuccinimide are added at room temperature. After 3 hours of stirring, the mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by column chromatography on silica gel (silica gel 60—Merck, particle size: 0.04 to 0.063 mm) using the mobile phase mixture ethyl acetate:cyclohexane (2:1) gives 312 mg (63% of theory) of 3-bromo-4-[[(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl](2,2-difluoroethyl)amino]furan-2(5H)-one.
