Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-8-ethyl-4-methylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one (2.70 g, 13.2 mmol) was added to dichloromethane (100 mL), and then bromine (0.75 mL, 1.10 equiv.) was added slowly. This reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h at room temperature. After that, the solvent was evaporated nearly 80% volume of reaction mixture under vacuum, and then acetone was added to give 3.54 g 2-Amino-6-bromo-8-ethyl-4-methylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one as a tan solid. LC/MS: Calculated for C10H11BrN4O (283.12). Found: 285.15 (M+2). HPLC analytical purity: 97.7%.
