Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (4S)-7-(3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-yl)-4-pyridin-2-yl-4,5-dihydroimidazo[1,5,4-de][1,4]benzoxazin-2(1H)-one (2.50 g, 7.18 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (47 mL) was treated with N-bromosuccinimide (1.40 g, 7.89 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 1 h, at which time the reaction mixture was treated with additional N-bromosuccinimide (0.70 g, 3.93 mmol) and stirred at 45° C. for 3 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to give the crude product. Purification by flash column chromatography (50% ethyl acetate/hexanes to 100% ethyl acetate) gave the desired product (3.0 g, 98%) as a single enantiomer. LCMS calculated for C19H16BrN4O3 (M+H)+: m/z=427.1, 429.1. found: 426.8, 428.8.
