Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 5-(2-furyl)cyclohexane-1,3-dione (1 g, 5.6 mmol) in THF (50 mL) was added N-bromosuccinimide (1 g, 5.6 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 85° C. for 12 h and on completion was filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound (1.0 g, 69%) as a white solid. LCMS (ES+) 256.8 (M+H)+.
