Reaction Steps

Into a 100-mL round-bottom flask, was placed a solution of 8-thia-4,6-diazatricyclo[7.4.0.0[2,7]]trideca-1(9),2,4,6,10,12-hexaen-3-ol (2.0 g, 9.89 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in 1,4-dioxane (15 mL) and POCl3 (4.5 g, 29.35 mmol, 2.97 equiv) under nitrogen. The resulting solution was stirred for 4 h at 90° C. The excess amount of POCl3 was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was diluted with DCM. The resulting mixture was poured into a cooled saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, extracted with DCM, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:10) to afford 3-chloro-8-thia-4,6-diazatricyclo[7.4.0.0[2,7]]trideca-1(9),2,4,6,10,12-hexaene (0.9 g, 41%) as a white solid.
