Reaction Steps

5-Bromosalicylaldehyde (0.402 g, 2.0 mmol), sodium methanesulfinate (0.918 g, 9.0 mmol), and copper(I) iodide (1.71 g, 9.0 mmol) were combined in NMP (16 mL) and stirred under N2 at 140° C. overnight. The mixture was diluted with 1:1 EtOAc:hexanes (150 mL) and filtered through a pad of Celite. The filtrate was washed three times with H2O, and then dried, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-100% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the title compound.
