Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolve 11-Bromomethylene-6,11-dihydro-dibenzo[b,e]oxepine (1 eq.) in dry THF (0.1 M). Cool the solution to −78 C in a dry ice/acetone bath. Slowly add s-butyl lithium (1.2 eq., 1.3 M in cyclohexane) to the above solution. Stir the dark brown solution at −78 C. for two hours. Add a solution of N-fluorobenzene sulfonimide (1.2 eq.) in dry THF (0.4 M) over 2 minutes. Remove the cold bath and allow the reaction mixture to warm to ambient temperature. Stir the reaction mixture at room temperature for 1 hour. Quench the reaction with water. Wash the resulting mixture with saturated aqueous NaHCO3.
