Trifluoroacetic anhydride (8.2 g) was added dropwise with the temperature of the solution maintained at less than 5° C., the reaction was then allowed to warm to room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (200 ml), washed with water (3×100 ml), dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed. Recrystallisation of the residue from ethyl acetate/hexane afforded the title compound (840 mg), m.p. 186°-190° C. δH (360 MHz, CDCl3) 7.58 (1H, d, J=7.2 Hz, H-7), 7.94 (1H, d, J=1.0 Hz, H-4), 8.16 (1H, dd, J=7.2, 1.0 Hz, H-6), 8.63 (1H, s, H-2); m/z 187 (M+, 100), 157 (45), 141 (95 ), 129 (30), 114 (55), 102 (10), 87 (20 ).
