Reaction Steps

A mixture of intermediate (9) (0.3 mol), 1,3-dibromopropane (0.42 mol) and K2CO3 (0.66 mol) in 2-propanone (500 ml) was stirred and refluxed for 20 hours, then filtered hot and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (eluent : DCM). The desired fractions were collected and the solvent was evaporated. Toluene was added and azeotroped on the rotary evaporator, yielding 69 g of methyl 8-chloro-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,5-benzodioxepin-6- carboxylate (intermediate 10).
