Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Compound 25 (40 mg, 0.22 mmol) was dissolved in toluene (5 mL) and the solution was cooled to 0° C. PBr3 (21 μL, 0.22 mmol) was added dropwise over 10 min. The reaction mixture was then brought up to room temperature and stirred for 1 h. The solvent was evaporated off in-vacuo. The residue was adsorbed on silica gel and purified by flash chromatography, eluting with hexane/EtOAc (4:1) to give 26 (40 mg, 74%) as an oil. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ: 7.39 (1H, d, J=8.90 Hz, H-7), 7.01 (1H, d, J=2.55, H-4), 6.94 (1H, dd, J=6.35 & 2.60, H-6), 6.72 (1H, s, H-3), 4.61 (2H, s, 2-CH2), 3.86 (3H, s, OCH3).
