N-bromobutanimide → HCID 178461196, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-bromosuccinimide (3.28 g, 18.4 mmol) was added to a solution of 4,6-dichloro-3-[(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)methyl]-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine (Preparative Example 2.3, 5 g, 16.8 mmol) stirring in degassed chloroform (168 mL) at room temperature. The reaction was heated to reflux for 1 hour. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with dichloromethane, and washed with saturated aqueous sodium thiosulfate (2×) and brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-100% ethyl acetate/hexanes, linear gradient) to afford 2-bromo-4,6-dichloro-3-[(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)methyl]-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine. MS ESI calc'd. for C14H16BrCl2N3 [M+H]+ 378. found 378.
