Participants

Reaction Steps

Following the procedure described in Step 4 of Example 1, 1-[2-(6-hydroxy-2-naphthyl)-1-benzofuran-3-yl]-3,3-dimethyl-1-butanone (0.378 g, 1.05 mmol) was brominated using, bromine (0.08 mL, 1.6 mmol), and potassium acetate (1.02 g, 10.4 mmol), in glacial acetic acid (17 mL). Purification by flash chromatography (Biotage apparatus) using 15-20% chloroform in hexane as an eluant furnished the title compound as a dark brown gum (0.203 g). 1HNMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ10.95 (s, 1H), 8.35 (s, 1H), 8.2 (d, 1H, J=8.3 Hz), 8.0 (d, 1H, J=8.3 Hz), 7.95 (t, 2H, J=8.3 Hz), 7.85 (d, 1H, J=8.3 Hz), 7.35-7.55 (m, 3H), 2.65 (s, 2H), and 0.85 ppm (s, 9H).
