Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of the ethyl ester of 13e (1.15 g, 4.0 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (50 ml) was treated with boron tribromide (16 ml, 1.0 M solution in CH2Cl2, 16.0 mmol) at 0° C. After 15 min at 0° C., the mixture was warmed to 25° C. and stirred for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled in an ice bath and quenched with a dropwise addition of water (20 ml). The resulting mixture was briefly stirred at 25° C. then filtered. The filtrate was carefully neutralised by the addition of solid NaHCO3 to afford 13f (700mg, 71%) as a white solid: m.p. 186-187° C. (decomp.) (recrystallised from MeOH); IR (KBr) 3500-2400, 2935, 1640, 1516, 1396, 1232; 1H NMR(d6-DMSO) δ9.83 (3H, bs), 7.16 (1H, s), 6.98 (2H, d, J=8.2), 6.66 (2H, d, J=8.2), 2.60-2.40 (4H, m), 1.84 (2H, m). Anal. Calcd for C13H14N2O3: C, 63.40; H, 5.73; N, 11.38. Found: C, 62.96; H, 5.70; N, 11.27.
