The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 hours at room temperature. Water was added and the solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water then aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (developing solvent: hexane/ethyl acetate=/1) to give 3-bromo-1-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one (52 mg, MS: 238.1 [M+H+].)
