N-bromobutanimide → 3-Bromo-5-[2-(isopropyloxycarbonylamino)ethylthio]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-[2-(isopropyloxycarbonylamino)ethylthio]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (279 mg, 1 mmole) in chloroform (5 ml) was added N-bromosuccinimide (187 ml, 1.05 mmoles) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction solution was washed with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After the solvent was distilled off, the residue was purified by column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate) to obtain 296 mg of the desired product (82.7%, colorless solid).
