Boron tribromide → Ammonia

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared from the product of example 45, using the same method as that described for example 34, with the addition of further boron tribromide (1M in dichloromethane, 4 eq) after 3 hours, and subsequent stirring for 2 hrs. Crude material was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate:methanol:0.88 ammonia, 98:2:0.2 to 94:6:0.6 to afford a white foam in 35% yield.
