Reaction Steps

A mixture of (5-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)(7-hydroxy-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzo[7]annulen-7-yl)methanone (1.3739 g, 3.78 mmol) and 60% NaH (0.5900 g, 14.75 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was heated at 100° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled with an ice bath and quenched with 2 N HCl (5 mL), extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over Na2SO4. After the solvents were evaporated, the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel eluted with hexanes/ethyl acetate to afford 0.9170 g (71%) of 5′-bromo-5,6,8,9-tetrahydro-3′H-spiro[benzo[7]annulene-7,2′-benzofuran]-3′-one as a solid. LC-MS tR=2.31 min in 3 min chromatography, m/z 343, 345 (MH+); 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.79-7.78 (m, 1H), 7.73-7.71 (m, 1H), 7.17 (m, 4H), 7.11-7.09 (m, 1H), 3.41-3.35 (m, 2H), 2.78-2.75 (m, 2H), 1.95-1.85 (m, 4H); 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3) δ 201.53, 169.46, 141.50, 140.56, 128.93, 127.47, 126.62, 121.63, 115.61, 114.15, 92.58, 32.98, 29.67.
