Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(2-bromoacetyl)-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[c,g]chromen-8(9H)-one (2.58 g, 6.95 mmol), pyridinium tribromide (2.56 g, 8.0 mmol), dichloromethane (22 mL) and methanol (2.5 mL) was stirred at about 20° C. for 3 hours to obtain a slurry. The precipitated product was filtered, washed with dichloromethane (10 mL) and dried in a vacuum oven at 40° C. to give 9-bromo-3-(2-bromoacetyl)-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[c,g]chromen-8(9H)-one (2.62 g, 84% yield). 400 MHz 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 8.03-8.01 (m, 1H), 7.85 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 7.82 (s, 1H), 7.71 (s, 1H), 7.67 (s, 1H), 5.19 (s, 2H), 4.74 (dd, J=4.1, 4.1 Hz, 1H), 4.45 (s, 2H), 3.37-3.29 (m, 1H), 2.99-2.92 (m, 1H), 2.59-2.46 (m, 2H).
