N-bromobutanimide → Ethyl 4-{2-[(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-(3-bromo-2-hydroxy-5-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-amino]-pyrimidin-5-yloxy}-butyrate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 4-{2-[(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-(2-hydroxy-5-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-amino]-pyrimidin-5-yloxy}-butyrate (1.39 g) is dissolved in chloroform (20 ml) and thereto is added N-bromosuccinimide (475 mg) and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and the reaction solution is concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=19:1→4:1) to give ethyl 4-{2-[(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-(3-bromo-2-hydroxy-5-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-amino]-pyrimidin-5-yloxy}-butyrate (1.29 g). MS (m/z): 704/706 [M+H]+
