Boron tribromide → HCID 21706255, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

BBr3 (1M in CH2Cl2) (1 mL, 1 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 7-(1-methyl-3-methoxyphenyl)-azepan-2-one, as described in Step D above, (0.06 g, 0.26 mmol) in CHCl3 (1 mL) at 0° C. with stirring. The ice bath was removed and stirring was continued for 1 h. The reaction mixture was partitioned between EtOAc (100 mL)—H2O (100 mL), the organic layer separated, washed with H2O, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated to give the title compound after SiO2 chromatography (CHCl3:MeOH, 10:1).
