Participants

Reaction Steps

6-(1-Ethoxyvinyl)-2-(dimethylamino)-7-fluoro-5-methyl-1,3-benzoxazole-4-carbonitrile (I-169) (0.51 g, 1.76 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml), then water (1.0 ml), N-bromosuccinimide (0.30 g, 1.69 g) were added. After stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes, the solvent was evaporated away under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (dichloromethane to dichloromethane:methanol=100:1) to obtain a pale brown solid (0.60 g, 100%).
