N-bromobutanimide → HCID 178517583, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 0.15 M solution of 2-chlorofuro[2,3-c]pyridin-7-ol (113 mg, 0.7 mmol) in DMF stirred in the dark at 0° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen was treated with NBS (120 mg, 0.7 mmol) in three equal portions. The ice bath was removed; the mixture was stirred at rt for 3 h. The reaction mixture was treated with a 10% aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate (5 ml) and was extracted with EtOAc (3×30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (15 mL), brine (20 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (hexanes/EtOAc=4:1) to afford the title compound (145 mg, 87%) as a white solid. LCMS (M+H)+=249.
