N-bromobutanimide → 2-Bromo-1-(6-bromoquinoxalin-2-yl)ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

NBS (55.1 mg, 0.310 mmol) was added to a solution of 6-bromo-2-(1-ethoxyvinyl)quinoxaline (72 mg, 0.26 mmol) in THF (2 mL) and water (0.500 mL) and the mixture was stirred at rt for 2 h. The reaction was diluted with MeOH and purified by prep HPLC (H2O-MeOH with 10 mM NH4OAc buffer) to yield 2-bromo-1-(6-bromoquinoxalin-2-yl)ethanone (50 mg, 0.15 mmol, 59% yield) as white solid. LC-MS retention time 2.40 min; m/z 329 [M+H]+. (Column PHENOMENEX® Luna 3.0×50 mm S10. Solvent A=90% water: 10% methanol: 0.1% TFA. Solvent B=10% water: 90% methanol: 0.1% TFA. Flow Rate=4 mL/min.
