Phosphorus tribromide → 6-Benzyloxy-3-[2-(4-bromomethyl-phenyl)-ethyl]-3H-pyrimidin-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 200 mg (0.60 mmol) 6-benzyloxy-3-[2-(4-hydroxymethyl-phenyl)-ethyl]-3H-pyrimidin-4-one (example 20.1a) in 2.0 mL of DCM is added at 0° C. 29 μL (0.30 mmol) phosphorus tribromide. The mixture is stirred 2 h at RT and is then added to 5% aqueous NaHCO3-solution. The layers are separated, the aqueous phase is extracted with DCM and the organic phase is washed with water. The combined organic phase is dried over MgSO4, filtered and the solvent is evaporated to afford the product.
