The reaction mixture was allowed to cool and was concentrated to remove AcOH. The residue was taken up in EtOAc and was washed with water saturated NaHCO3, brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give crude product. The product was purified by flash column chromatography on a Biotage system eluting with a hexane: EtOAc gradient (0-40%) to give 7-bromo-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydroimidazo[1,5,4-de][1,4]benzoxazin-2(1H)-one as an amber oil (0.30 g, 60%). LCMS calc. for C15H12BrN2O2 (M+H)+: m/z=331.1, 333.1. found: 331.0, 333.0. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ 7.42-7.23 (m, 3H), 7.23-7.09 (m, 3H), 6.70 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 5.46 (dd, J=2.6 Hz, 1H), 4.66 (dd, J=11.6, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 4.47 (dd, J=11.6, 3.1 Hz, 1H).
