Bromine → HCID 12811344, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

While stirring vigorously a mixture of a solution of 2.0 g of 7-methoxy-2-phenylimidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole in 50 ml of chloroform and 30 ml of a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, a solution of 1.2 g of bromine in 5 ml of chloroform was gradually added dropwise to the mixture at room temperature. Thereafter, the chloroform layer was recovered, dried by anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to form a solid material. The solid product was recrystallized from a mixture of toluene and n-hexane to provide 2.0 g of 3-bromo-7-methoxy-2-phenylimidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole.
