Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 4,7-dibromo-3,4-dihydrobenzo[b]oxepin-5(2H)-one (3.4 g, 11 mmol) and ethyl thioamidooxalate (4.2 g, 32 mmol) was added ethanol (81 mL) and heated at reflux (at 80° C.) for 4 days. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and cooled in an ice bath. The precipitate was collected by filtration to give 9-Bromo-4,5-dihydro-6-oxa-3-thia-1-aza-benzo[e]azulene-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (2.59 g, 69%). LC/MS (ESI+): m/z 355 (M+H).
