Procedure

The (3-bromo-4-nitrophenyl)acetic acid methyl ester (0.320 g) obtained in Example 4 b) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL). To this solution were added triethylamine (0.237 g) and dimethylamine (2M tetrahydrofuran; 0.58 mL), and stirred overnight while heating. The reaction mixture was concentrated and purified by column chromatography on silica gel with ethyl acetate:hexane=1:4 to give the title compound (0.145 g) as an orange oil.
