N-bromobutanimide → 2-Bromo-1-morpholin-4-yl-butane-1,3-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-morpholin-4-yl-butane-1,3-dione (0.53 g, 3.1 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (30 mL) stirred at 0° C., N-bromosuccinimide (0.55 mg, 3.1 mmol) was added in small portions and the mixture was stirred for 1 h. The solution was washed with brine (3×5 mL), dried over MgSO4 and concentrated below 30° C. 2-Bromo-1-morpholin-4-yl-butane-1,3-dione 0.76 g, 3.04 mmol, 98.1%, LCMS/BB_LCMS01(+)/: M+1=250, 252, Rt: 1.831 min] was obtained as a yellowish oil.
