Reaction Steps

5-fluoro-2-(1H-imidazole-2-yl)phenol (0.90 g, 5.0 mmol) was dissolved in N,N-Dimethylformamide (40 mL, 500 mmol). Cesium carbonate (6.6 g, 20 mmol) was added, followed by 1,2-Dibromoethane (1.7 mL, 20 mmol) and heated at 90° C. with a vigreux condensation column attached for 3 hours. Complete by LCMS. Diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. Acidified the aqueous layer to pH ˜5 with HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organics were concentrated in vacuo and purified by flash chromatography on the ISCO 0-50% ethyl acetate in hexanes and concentrated in vacuo to give 9-fluoro-5,6-dihydrobenzo[f]imidazo[1,2-d][1,4]oxazepine (0.69 g, 67% yield)
