Reaction Steps

Stir 6-fluoro-2-methyl-4,9-dihydro-3-thia-4,9-diaza-benzo[f]azulene-10-thione (61.5 g, 0.233 mol) and DMF (310 mL) under nitrogen for 15 minutes at ambient temperature. Add powdered potassium carbonate (67.7 g, 0.490 mol); stir 15 minutes at ambient temperature. Add iodomethane (22 mL, 0.35 mol); stir 4 hours at ambient temperature. Cool to 0-5° C. and add deionized water (150 mL) dropwise, keeping the temperature below 15° C. Extract the product with ethyl acetate. Wash the organic solution with brine four times, then dry over magnesium sulfate, filter and concentrate under reduced pressure to give 74.0 g of crude product. Purify by flash chromatography, eluting with 2:1/methylene chloride:heptane, then methylene chloride to give 55.0 g (85%) the title compound: 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.11 (bs, 1H), 6.87 (m, 1H), 6.73 (m, 1H), 6.50 (s, 1H), 6.44 (m, 1H), 2.41(s, 3H), 2.25 (s, 3H). HRMS (ES) exact mass M+H calcd for C13H11FN2S2 279.0426; found 279.0416.
