Reaction Steps

9-Chloro-4,5-dihydro-6-oxa-1-thia-10-aza-benzo[e]azulene (4.33 g, 18.2 mmol) was dissolved in methylene chloride (40 mL, 600 mmol)/acetic acid (40 mL, 700 mmol). The solution was cooled down to 0-5° C. and added a solution of N-Bromosuccinimide (3.57 g, 20.0 mmol) in 10 mL of DCM slowly. The reaction mixture was stirred for 18 hours. After removal of the solvents, the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated sodium carbonate aqueous solution. The organic layer was washed with water, brine and dried over sodium sulfate. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated to give 2-Bromo-9-chloro-4,5-dihydro-6-oxa-1-thia-10-aza-benzo[e]azulene. 1HNMR (DMSO, 400 MHz): δ 7.48 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H, ArH), 7.28 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H, ArH), 7.18 (s, 1H, ═CH), 4.32 (t, J=4.4 Hz, 2H, CH2), 3.17 (t, J=4.4 Hz, 2H, CH2).
