Methyl bromoacetate → HCID 13067116, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In one portion 2.0 g (6.4 mmol) of 8-chloro-6-(2-fluorophenyl)-2H,4H-pyrrolo[3,4-d][2]benzazepine was added to a solution of 0.9 g (8 mmol) of potassium t-butoxide in 30 ml of dimethylformamide which was cooled to 0°. After stirring for 15 min, 0.7 ml (7.5 mmol) of methyl bromoacetate was added. The mixture was stirred for 5 min, diluted with water and extracted with ether. The ether solution was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated at reduced pressure to dryness. Purification of the residue by column chromatography gave a pale yellow oil.
