Reaction Steps

Alternatively, a solution of 8-Bromo-2-iodo-4,5-dihydro-6-oxa-1,3a-diaza-benzo[e]azulene (10.00 g, 0.02558 mol) in N,N-Dimethylformamide (250 mL) was thoroughly degassed with N2. Bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride (0.807 g, 0.00115 mol) was added followed by Hexamethyldisilazane (21.58 mL, 0.1023 mol). The solution was flushed with CO for 2 minutes and then sealed with a CO balloon attached. The reaction was heated to 70° C. for 2.5 hours. Methylene chloride and saturated NH4Cl were added and the mixture was extracted 4 times with methylene chloride. The organic phases were combined, dried with MgSO4 and concentrated. A small amount of isopropanol was added and the mixture was triturated overnight. The mixture was filtered to yield 5.97 g (76% yield) of 8-Bromo-4,5-dihydro-6-oxa-1,3a-diaza-benzo[e]azulene-2-carboxylic acid amide as a fine brown powder. MS(ESI+) 308.0/310.0
