Procedure

(Z)-8-Bromo-5-chloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]oxepine-4-carbaldehyde 9 was dissolved in 10 mL DMF and treated sequentially with potassium carbonate (2.20 g, 16.6 mmol) and methyl thioglycolate (0.83 mL). The whole was heated at 50° C. overnight, cooled to room temperature, diluted with water and extracted with ethylacetate. The combined organics were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography (20-50% ethylacetate in hexanes) to give 2.20 g (78% yield) as a colorless solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 500 MHz) 7.70 (s, 1H), 7.67 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.31-7.28 (m, 2H), 4.32 (t, J=5.0 Hz, 2H), 3.84 (s, 3H), 3.21 (t, J=5.0 Hz, 2H).
