Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 5-fluoro-1-indanone (302 mg, 2.013 mmol) and bis-(2-bromo-ethyl)-carbamic acid ethyl ester (610 mg, 2.01 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) at 50° C. was added NaH (121 mg, 5.03 mmol) by small portions. After being stirred at 50° C. for 16 hr, the reaction was cooled to 25° C. The reaction was diluted with 15 mL of ethyl acetate and washed twice with 10 mL of water, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash column (gradient of 85:15 to 60:40 heptane/ethyl acetate in 20 min to give the title compound (188 mg, 0.645 mmol, 32.1% yield). MS (ESI) [m/e, (M+H)+]=292.4. HPLC retention time=1.46 minutes (Agilent 1100 HPLC system; 3.0 cm×3.0 mm×3.0 um C8 column; flow rate of 2.0 mL/min; gradient of 5-95% acetonitrile/water with 0.1% formic acid over 2 minutes).
