Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(8-tert-Butyl-4-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[1,4]oxazin-6-yl)ethanone (250 mg, purchased from Chembiotek, India) was warmed to 50° C. to 55° C. in a mixture of acetic acid (4 ml) and toluene (8 ml). Bromine (200 mg dissolved in acetic acid) was carefully added dropwise at this temperature. After 2.5 h, the heating was removed, and the mixture was treated with ice water at RT and extracted three times with toluene. The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified on silica gel, so that 65 mg of the desired compound were obtained, in addition to a further 43 mg of product, which were slightly contaminated, and 37 mg of starting material.
