Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 8-Bromo-4,5-dihydro-6-oxa-1,3a-diaza-benzo[e]azulene-2-carboxylic acid (0.839 g, 0.00271 mol) and oxalyl chloride (2M in DCM, 1.36 mL, 0.002714 mol), in methylene chloride (16.70 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere was added 1 drop of N,N-dimethylformamide. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo and the acid chloride was redissolved in methylene chloride (9.0 mL). The solution was added dropwise to a solution of N-tertbutoxycarbonyl-S-methylpseudothiourea (0.5164 g, 0.002714 mol) and triethylamine (1.173 mL, 0.008414 mol) in methylene chloride (9.0 mL). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 h. Methylene chloride and water were added and the mixture was extracted 3× with methylene chloride. Saturated sodium carbonate was then added and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The organic layers were combined and concentrated. The product was redissolved in methylene chloride and methanol and filtered. The filtrate was collected, concentrated and dry loaded onto silica gel and purified by flash chromatography (0-15% MeOH in DCM) to give {[(E)-8-Bromo-4,5-dihydro-6-oxa-1,3a-diaza-benzo[e]azulene-2-carbonylimino]-methylthiomethyl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (658 mg) as an off-white solid. MS(ESI+) 481.0/483.0
