N-bromobutanimide → HCID 13728613, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In carbon tetrachloride (300 ml) was suspended 6-isopropyl-4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-carbonitrile (10.65 g). To the suspension was added N-bromosuccinimide (8.90 g). The mixture was subjected to reflux for two hours under irradiation of infrared ray lamp (Toshiba, 100 V, 375 WR). The resultant was then cooled to room temperature, followed by removal of insolubles by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The concentrate was dissolved in ethyl acetate (150 ml), which was washed with water three times, dried and concentrated. The precipitating crystals were collected by filtration to give 6-(1-bromo-1-methylethyl)-4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-carbonitrile as colorless prisms (7.0 g). Melting point: 115°-117° C.
