Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of commercially available 3-bromoacetophenone (30 g, 0.1508 mol), formic acid (47 ml) and formamide (70 ml) was heated to 220° C. for 5 h. The brown liquid obtained was cooled to RT, quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, brine and concentrated to provide a brown liquid. Ethanol (375 ml) and conc.HCl (75 ml) were added to the brown liquid and the reaction mixture refluxed over night. Ethanol was removed completely under reduced pressure and the aqueous layer was washed with ether and ethyl acetate to remove all non-basic impurities. The aqueous layer was basified with 10% sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with brine, and concentrated to provide 26 g (86.65%) of A1.13a This compound was taken to the next step with out further purification. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 1.38 (d, 3H), 4.1 (q, 1H), 7.2 (m, 1H), 7.27 (m, 1H), 7.37 (m, 1H), 7.51 (s, 1H). LS-MS (M−H)+=200.
