N-bromobutanimide → HCID 20195167, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

111.7 g of 4,6-diisopropoxy-2-p-tolylpyrimidine and 450 ml of carbon tetrachloride are heated to 70°-75° C. To the resultant solution is added 0.5 g of dibenzoyl peroxide, followed by the addition, over 45 minutes, of a mixture of 1 g of azoisobutyronitrile and 70.8 g of N-bromosuccinimide. The mixture is refluxed for 2 hours to bring the reaction to completion. The precipitated succinimide is then filtered off and excess carbon tetrachloride is removed by distillation, affording 141 g of the title compound with a melting point of 74°-75° C. after purification with methanol.
