N-bromobutanimide → 6-Bromomethyl-4-(2-chloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-2-thiazol-2-yl-1,4-dihydro-pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-(2-chloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-6-methyl-2-thiazol-2-yl-1,4-dihydro-pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (0.37 g, 1.0 mmol) in CCl4 (5 mL) was added NBS (0.20 g, 1.1 mmol) in portions. After the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography to give 6-bromomethyl-4-(2-chloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-2-thiazol-2-yl-1,4-dihydro-pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (Compound C) as a yellow solid. MS: calc'd 429 (MH+), measured 429 (MH+).
