Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b]oxepin-5-one (3.10 g, 12.8 mmol) in diethyl ether at 0° C., bromine (625 μl, 12.2 mmol) was added and stirred for 2.5 hours, gradually raising the temperature to room temperature. Purification on silica and triturating using diethyl ether and hexanes gave 4-bromo-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b]oxepin-5-one.
