Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of compound 8C (0.80 g, 4.15 mmol) in chloroform (2.4 mL) cooled to −20° C. was slowly added a solution of bromine (0.22 mL, 4.35 mmol) in chloroform (1 mL) so that the reaction temperature was maintained below −10° C. The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 5 min, and then quenched immediately with water. The mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×), the combined extracts washed with saturated NaHCO3, brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed (silica gel) eluting with CH2Cl2 to afford the title compound (0.98 g).
