Pyridiniumtribromide → 4-bromo-1-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)-1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-5-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)-1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-5-ol (2-5) (3 mg, 0.015 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) in chloroform (500 μL), was added slowly pyridinium tribromide (4.67 mg, 0.015 mmol, 1.0 equiv.). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature. LCMS showed mostly the desired product. The reaction mixture was quenched with water, neutralized to pH=7, then extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give the crude 4-bromo-1-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)-1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-5-ol (1-6). LRMS m/z (M+H) 283.9 and 285.9 (intensity ratio ˜1:1) found, 284.0 and 286.0 required.
