N-bromobutanimide → 5-Bromo-4-(2-furyl)-2-pyrimidinylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(2-furyl)-2-pyrimidinylamine (4.10 g, 25.4 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (40 ml) was added N-bromosuccinimide (4.53 g, 25.5 mmol) at 2° C., followed by stirring as it was. After 6 hours, the reaction mixture was diluted with an aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (240 ml). The mixture was ice-cooled, and then the crystals were collected by filtration and washed with water, to give the title compound (5.10 g, 84%) as a pale brown solid.
