Reaction Steps

3-Bromo-5,5-dioxo-2-pivaloylaminodibenzothiophene (Example 70; 0.1 g, 0.254 mmol) was suspended in dry THF (2 ml) under argon, cooled to −70° C. and 1.7 M tert-butyllithium in pentane (0.49 ml, 0.838 mmol) was added dropwise over 5 minutes. The mixture was allowed to warm to −30° C. and the suspension slowly dissolved as the solution darkened. The mixture was then re-cooled to −70° C. and iodomethane (0.17 ml, 0.279 mmol) added and stirred for 30 minutes. Saturated ammonium acetate (5 ml) and DCM (25 ml) were added and the organic phase washed with water and dried. The mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the residue purified by preparative HPLC (Dynamax C-18 60A column eluted with 30-90% acetonitrile in water plus 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid) to give the product as a colourless solid. NMR: 9.16 (s, 1H), 8.13 (d, 1H), 7.99 (s, 1H), 7.92 (d, 1H), 7.86 (s, 1H), 7.76 (t, 1H), 7.61 (t, 1H), 2.28 (s, 3H), 1.26 (s, 9H); m/z 330.
