Dichloromethane → 3-(Bromomethyl)-4-phenyl-1H-isochromen-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triphenylphosphine (250 mg, 0.953 mmol) was added to a solution of 3-(hydroxymethyl)-4-phenyl-1H-isochromen-1-one (intermediate B2, 185 mg, 0.733 mmol) and perbromomethane (316 mg, 0.953 mmol) in DCM (3.7 ml, 57.5 mmol), and the resulting mixture was stirred at RT for 3 days, adding the reagents several times to achieve completion (overall 4 equivalents). The reaction was taken up with MeOH then concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude was purified over a Biotage Silica 50 g SNAP cartridge with a gradient of hexane and EtOAc to give the title compound (0.11 g, 47.6%).
