Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a pre-cooled solution (0° C.) of the compound from Step F of Example 62 (28 mg, 0.10 mmol) in DMF (0.5 mL) was added N-bromosuccinimide (0.018 g, 0.10 mmol) in DMF (0.5 mL) dropwise. The solution was stirred at 0° C. for 20 min, then at rt for 10 min. The reaction was quenched by addition of methanol (4 mL) and evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was purified on silica gel using methanol/dichloromethane (1:9) as eluent. Fractions containing the product were pooled and evaporated in vacuo to give the desired product (13.0 mg) as a colorless solid.
