1,3-Cyclohexanedione → 8-bromo-3,4-dihydrodibenzo[b,d]furan-1(2H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

The product of Example 29, step A (1.0 g, 4.45 mmol) and cyclohexane-1,3-dione (750 mg, 6.68 mmol) were reacted following the procedure of Example 44, step A. Purification by flash column chromatography (SiO2, 90:10 hexanes/ethyl acetate) provided 8-bromo-3,4-dihydrodibenzo[b,d]furan-1(2H)-one (410 mg, 35%) as a pale yellow solid: 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 8.20 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.42 (dd, J=8.7, 2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.33 (dd, J=8.7, 2.7 Hz, 1H), 3.04 (t, J=6.3 Hz, 2H), 2.61 (t, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 2.28 (m, 2H).
