Reaction Steps

The product from step (ii) (30 g) was dissolved in dry dichloromethane (200 ml). The solution was stirred at room temperature whilst N-bromosuccinamide (27 g) was added portionwise. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. 20% (w/v)-Sodium sulfate (200 ml) was added and the separated aqueous phase extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic phase was washed with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and brine. After concentration in vacuo, the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with water, brine and dried. The solution was filtered through silica gel and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with diethyl ether and isohexane (1/1, 200 ml) then filtered to give the subtitle compound (26 g). The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate/isohexane) to give a further 2.5 g of product. The solids were combined to give the subtitle compound as a yellow solid. Yield 28.5 g. mp 148-50° C.
