Reaction Steps

To a solution of compound 53 (22.4 g 123 mmol) in DMF (250 mL) was added N-bromosuccinimide (21.9 g, 123 mmol) portionwise at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 0.5 h. To the mixture was added water and extracted with EtOAc (500 mL×2). The combined organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to provide the desired compound 54 (27.5 g, 86%) as a white solid.
