Conditions

Temperature: 90 °C

Procedure

A mixture of 5-bromo-2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenol (0.9 g, 4 mmol), 1,2-dibromoethane (1.3 mL, 15 mmol) and cesium carbonate (4.9 g, 15 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was heated to 90° C. for 12 h. The mixture was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, brine and dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give 9-bromo-5,6-dihydrobenzo[f]imidazo[1,2-d][1,4]oxazepine (0.8 g).
