Compound 7 (0.one hundred g, 0.340 mmol) was dissolved in THF (6 mL) at -78 . N-Bromosuccinimide (61 mg, 0.340 mmol) was added for the reaction flask in one particular portion, plus the mixture was stirred at -78 for 30 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with hexanes (five mL) and with water (5 mL).4,6-Dichloro-2-(ethoxymethyl)pyrimidine In stock The aqueous layer was extracted 3 instances with ethyl acetate (20 mL), along with the combined organic layers have been washed with brine (ten mL) and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. Solvent evaporation below decreased stress afforded compound 8 as a brown oil (0.114 g, 0.241 mmol, 90 ), which was applied straight within the next step devoid of additional purification.dx.doi.org/10.1021/ic5008439 | Inorg.
