Reaction Steps

To 0.1 g (0.31 mmol) 10-chloro-5,6,8,9-tetrahydro-1,4,7,10a-tetraaza-cyclohepta[f]indene-7-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (route 1, step a to d) in 2 mL DMF, under nitrogen, was added 0.104 g (0.46 mmol) N-iodosuccinimide, and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. 20 mL EtOAc was added and the mixture was washed with a 10% solution of Na2S2O3 (2×5 mL). The aqueous layers were combined and extracted with EtOAc (2×10 mL). The organic layers were combined, washed with 10 mL saturated brine, and dried with MgSO4. After filtration and evaporation of the solvent the product was purified by column chromatography (silica, heptane/EtOAc 9:1).
