Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of the ethyl ester of 13e (1.15 g, 4.0 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (50 ml) was treated with boron tribromide (16 ml, 1.0M solution in CH2 Cl2, 16.0 mmol) at 0° C. After 15 min at 0° C., the mixture was warmed to 25° C. and stirred for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled in an ice bath and quenched with a dropwise addition of water (20 ml). The resulting mixture was briefly stirred at 25° C. then filtered. The filtrate was carefully neutralised by the addition of solid NaHCO3 to afford 13f (700 mg, 71%) as a white solid: m.p. 186°-187° C. (decomp.) (recrystallised from MeOH); IR (KBr) 3500-2400, 2935, 1640, 1516, 1396, 1232; 1H NMR(d6 -DMSO) δ 9.83 (3H, bs), 7.16 (1H, s), 6.98 (2H, d, J=8.2), 6.66 (2H, d, J=8.2), 2.60-2.40 (4H, m), 1.84 (2H, m). Anal. Calcd for C13H14N2O3 : C, 63.40; H, 5.73; N, 11.38. Found: C, 62.96; H, 5.70; N, 11.27.
