Reaction Steps

To a solution of 8-Bromo-4,5-dihydro-6-oxa-1,3a-diaza-benzo[e]azulene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (1.000 g, 0.003095 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (7.50 mL) and water (4.5 mL) was added lithium hydroxide (0.2964 g, 0.01238 mol). The reaction was stirred at 45° C. for 2 h. The mixture was acidified to pH=1 with 2N HCl. The resulting precipitate was filtered and rinsed with cold water to obtain 8-Bromo-4,5-dihydro-6-oxa-1,3a-diaza-benzo[e]azulene-2-carboxylic acid (860 mg) as an off-white solid. MS(ESI+) 309.0/311.0
