Participants

Reaction Steps

100 mg (0.4 mmol) of (4-benzo[1,2,5]oxadiazol-5-yl-3-methoxy-phenyl)-methyl-amine are stirred at −10 to 0° C. in 1.3 mL of CH2Cl2, then over 5 minutes treated with 1.3 mL AlBr3 (1.0 M solution in CH2Br2, 3 eq.) and stirred another 17 h under warming to rt. Then, the mixture is poured onto brine/ethyl acetate and the pH adjusted to 6 using NaHCO3. Then the aqueous phase is extracted with ethyl acetate, the combined organic layers dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product is column chromatographed with ethyl acetate/hexanes 1:1 to yield after evaporation of the product-containing fractions the desired product as a yellow solid.
