N-bromobutanimide → 5-Bromo-8-(2,6-dichlorobenzoylamino)-3-methylquinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8-(2,6-dichlorobenzoylamino)-3-methylquinoline (250 mg), N-bromosuccinimide (175 mg) and 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethyl-4-methoxyvaleronitrile) (23.3 mg) in dichloromethane was refluxed for 2 hours. After cooling, the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane) to give 5-bromo-8-(2,6-dichlorobenzoylamino)-3-methylquinoline (54.2 mg).
