, (2008/06/13)
The present invention provides an improved process for the production of a compound of formula I STR1 wherein R1 is carboxyl, alkoxy(C1-5)carbonyl, amido, alkyl(C1-5)amido, di(alkyl(C1-5)amido or an amido radical of formula II STR2 wherein Ra is alkyl(C1-4), Rb is alkyl(C1-4) or benzyl, and R2 is hydrogen or alkyl(C1-4), and either R3 is hydrogen and R4 is hydrogen or alkoxy(C1-4) or R3 and R4 together are a single bond, characterized in that a compound of formula III STR3 wherein R1 to R4 are as defined above, is brominated with a bromine complex of 3-bromo-6-chloro-2-methyl-imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine.
BROMINATION OF α-ERGOCRYPTINE AND OTHER ERGOT ALKALOIDS WITH 3-BROMO-6-CHLORO-2-METHYLIMIDAZO/1,2-b/PYRIDAZINE-BROMINE COMPLEX AS A NEW BROMINATING AGENT

A new and improved bromination of α-ergocryptine and some other ergot alkaloids of the type 1, 2 and 3 using 3-bromo-6-chloro-2-methylimidazo/1,2-b/pyridazine-bromine complex (5) as a new brominating agent, to give purified 2-bromo derivatives in yields up to 81percent, is described.
