The resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 2.5 h. The reaction was quenched with sat. NaHCO3 solution, extracted with CH2Cl2, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to give a yellow oil. The title compound was isolated by silica gel chromatography (EtOAc to MeOH/CH2Cl2, 35:100) as a yellow solid (139 mg, 63%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 7.31 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 2H), 6.88 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 2H), 3.76-3.73 (m, 2H), 2.69 (t, J=12.3 Hz, 2H), 2.53-2.45 (m, 1H), 2.41 (s, 6H), 2.01-1.98 (m, 2H), 1.67-1.57 (m, 2H); MS ESI 283.0 [M+H]+, calcd for [C13H19BrN2+H]+ 283.07.
