Reaction Steps

8-methoxy-6,11-dihydro-5-oxa-11-aza-benzo[a]fluorene (300 mg, 1.194 mmoL) in DMF (5 mL) was treated with KO-t-Bu (1.0 M in THF, 2.0 mL, 2.0 mmoL) under a flow of O2 for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was then partitioned between water and EtOAc. The EtOAc layer was washed with saturated NH4Cl, water, brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to yield a brown oil. The crude material was then purified by column chromatography (silica gel, hexanes:EtOAc 9:1 as eluent) to yield the title compound as a white solid.
