N-bromobutanimide → HCID 59494587, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-Bromosuccinimide (978 mg) was added to a solution of tert-butyl cyclopropyl[4-methoxy-3-(3-methoxypropoxy)benzyl]carbamate (6.36 g) in acetonitrile (50 ml) under ice cooling and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the resulted residue was purified with a silica gel column chromatography (eluting solvent: n-hexane/ethyl acetate/=4/1 to 3/1) to give tert-butyl [2-bromo-4-methoxy-5-(3-methoxypropoxy)benzyl]cyclopropylcarbamate (3.35 g) as a colorless oil.
