Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,3-dibromopropane (510 μl, 5.0 mmol) in dimethylformamide (10 ml) was added benzotriazole (600 mg, 5.0 mmol) and KOH (430 mg, 7.7 mmol). After stirring for 20 h at room temp., water (15 ml) and ethyl acetate (15 ml) were added. The phases were separated and the aqueous phase was re-extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 ml). The combined organic phases were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated, giving 1.44 g of the crude product. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (0–10% methanol in DCM) yielding 705 mg (59%) of the title compound 64. TLC (5% methanol in DCM): Rf=0.4. HPLC-MS (Method A): M+=239.9 (UV/MS(%)=52/58).
