Reaction Steps

A mixture of 204 mg (0.50 mmol) of 1-(8-bromo-4,5-dihydrothiazolo[4,5-d]benzo[b]oxepin-2-yl)-5,5-dimethylimidazolidin-2,4-dione, 0.0411 ml (0.66 mmol) of methyl iodide and 244 mg (0.750 mmol) of Cesium Carbonate in 5.0 ml of N,N-Dimethylformamide was heated at 80° C. for 2 hours. The mixture was filtered, the filtrate concentrated in high vacuum, the residue partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic extracts were washed with water, brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give 1-(8-Bromo-4,5-dihydrothiazolo[4,5-d]benzo[b]oxepin-2-yl)-3,5,5-trimethylimidazolidin-2,4-dione. Weight 0.205 (97%). MS (ESI+): 421.9
