N-bromobutanimide → 4-Bromo-7-methoxy-2-methylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 7-methoxy-2-methylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine (3.2 g, 19.6 mmol) in ACN (30 mL) was treated with NBS (3.5 g, 19.7 mmol). After the mixture was stirred at rt for 18 h, it was concentrated in vacuo and purified by silica gel chromatography (PE/EA=30:1˜5:1) to afford the title compound (3.0 g, 64%) as a yellow solid. LCMS (M+H)+=243.
