Ceric ammonium nitrate → 7-Bromo-3,7B-dihydro-1H-cyclopropa[C]quinolin-2(1AH)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 7-bromo-3-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3,7b-dihydro-1H-cyclopropa[c]quinolin-2(1aH)-one (0.300 g, 0.837 mmol) in 9:1 acetonitrile/water (5.5 mL) was added CAN (0.459 g, 0.837 mmol) at room temperature. After stirring at room temperature overnight, the reaction mixture was quenched with water (10 mL) and adjusted pH to 7-9 by using saturated Na2CO3. The resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layer was concentrated and purified by flash chromatography (0 to 50% ethyl acetate:hexanes) to afford the title compound (0.18 g, 95% yield) as a pale yellow solid. LCMS, [M+H]+=237.9. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.15 (s, 1H), 7.24 (d, J=7.7 Hz, 1H), 7.00 (t, J=7.7 Hz, 1H), 6.69 (d, J=7.7 Hz, 1H), 2.84 (td, J=8.1, 5.2 Hz, 1H), 2.22-2.13 (m, 1H), 1.76 (td, J=9.2, 4.7 Hz, 1H), 0.75 (dd, J=10.0, 5.0 Hz, 1H).
