A solution of 7-bromophenazine-1-carboxylic acid (81) (333 mg, 1.10 mmol) (Madelmont, J. C.; Chezal, J. M.: Moins, N.; Teulade, J. C.; Chavignon, O. Labelled analogues of halobenzamides as radiopharmaceuticals, WO 2008/012782A3) in thionyl chloride (8 mL) was refluxed, under argon, for 1 h. After cooling to room temperature, the solvent was evaporated under reduce pressure and the residue was dissolved in anhydrous toluene (5 mL). The solvent was evaporated under vacuum and the residue was dissolved in anhydrous dichloromethane (11 mL). A solution of compound 5 (300 mg, 1.32 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (5 mL) was added, at 0° C. and the mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 24 h. The solvent was evaporated under reduce pressure and the residue was chromatographed (Al2O3, AcOEt) to give compound 82 (537 mg, 1.05 mmol) as a yellow oil. Yield 95%; Rf (Al2O3, AcOEt) 0.69; IR (CCl4) ν 1190, 1249, 1283, 1466, 1517, 1663, 2800-3000, 3250-3350 cm−1; 1H NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.09 (t, 3H, J=7.1 Hz), 2.80 (q, 2H, J=7.1 Hz), 2.86 (t, 2H, J=6.0 Hz), 3.00 (t, 2H, J=5.5 Hz), 3.70 (q, 2H, J=6.0 Hz), 4.04 (t, 2H, J=5.5 Hz), 6.75 (ddd, 1H, 5JH-F=0.8 Hz, J=4.8, 7.9 Hz), 6.93 (ddd, 1H, 4JH-F=10.1 Hz, J=1.5, 7.9 Hz), 7.45 (td, 1H, 4JH-F=1.5 Hz, J=1.5, 4.8 Hz), 7.71 (dd, 1H, J=2.0, 9.2 Hz), 7.82 (dd, 1H, J=7.1, 8.7 Hz), 7.89 (d, 1H, J=9.2 Hz), 8.15 (dd, 1H, J=1.5, 8.7 Hz), 8.23 (d, 1H, J=2.0 Hz), 8.84 (dd, 1H, J=1.5, 7.1 Hz), 10.79 (m, 1H); ESI-MS m/z 512.0 [M+H]+.
