N-bromobutanimide → 4-(6-Amino-5-bromopyridin-3-yl)-1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 4-(6-aminopyridin-3-yl)-1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (90 mg, 0.377 mmol) in Acetonitrile 3 mL) in ice bath was added NBS (60.3 mg, 0.339 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred in ice bath for 15 min and room temperature for 30 min. LC-MS shows mixture of SM and product. Added 0.1 equiv. more of NBS and stirred another 1h at room temperature. Reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and added 2 mL of Satd sodium bicarbonate. Stirred 10 min. The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. Proceed for next step (73%). LCMS (m/z): 270.2/272.2 (MH+), 0.302 min.
