Brominating agents include N-bromosuccinimide, bromine, complexed bromine such as pyridinium bromide, and the like can be used to convert 7-methyl-9-oxoxanthene-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester 40 to 7-bromomethyl-9-oxoxanthene-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester 41. Solvents include chlorinated hydrocarbons, dipolar aprotic solvents, and various ethers. Temperature can range from 0-100 C. For example, a suspension of 7-methyl-9-oxoxanthene-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester (0.1 mol), N-bromosuccinimide (0.12 Mol) and benzoylperoxide (10 mg) in dry carbon tetrachloride (300 mL) is stirred at 60 C for 6 hours. The mixture is filtered, and the solid is washed successively with small amounts of chloroform, water and ether, and then dried to leave a desired product as white solid. For example, to a solution of compound 40 (1.97 g, 7.4 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (400 mL) was added N-bromosuccinimide (1.44 g, 8.1 mmol) and a catalytic amount of benzoyl peroxide (45 mg, 3%). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 6 h and cooled to room temperature. The white precipitate was filtered out. The solvents were removed and the residue was recrystallized from EtOAc and hexanes. The crude product (2.05 g) was obtained and further recrystallization gave a pure white solid product 41 (1.15 g, 45%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) of 2: 8.27 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.80-7.72 (m, 2H), 7.57 (dd, J=8.5 and 1.1 Hz, 1H), 7.48 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.33 (dd, J=7.0 and 1.1 Hz, 1H), 4.57 (s, 2H), 4.00 (s, 3H).
