Tetrahydrofuran → (4R,9aR)-7-Bromo-4,6-dimethyl-3,4,9,9a-tetrahydro-1H-2,4a,5-triaza-fluorene-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 0.20 g (0.66 mmol) (R)-4,6-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-2,4a,5-triaza-fluorene-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (example 5, intermediate b)) in 2 mL tetrahydrofuran 0.12 g (0.69 mmol) was added N-bromosuccinimide; the reaction was stirred for 1.5 h. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (0.032–0.063 mm) with ethyl acetate:dichloromethane (1:19) as eluant.
