Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

0.82 g (3.27 mmol) of the compound from Example 9A are provided in 21 ml of acetic acid, 0.17 ml (3.27 mmol) of bromine are added and the mixture is stirred at 60° C. overnight. A saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution is added carefully, and the mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is washed twice with water, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude product is purified by flash chromatography (mobile phase: cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 40:1). 1.05 g (91% of theory) of the title compound are obtained.
