Reaktionsschritte

Intermediate 2 (667 mg, 2.81 mmol) was dissolved in dimethylformamide (14 ml), 2-bromo-1-phenylethanone (560 mg, 2.81 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred for 24 h at room temperature. Water (5 ml) was added and the reaction allowed to stir for a further 24 h. The mixture was then diluted with ethyl acetate (100 ml) and washed with water. The aqueous fraction was re-extracted three times with ethyl acetate and the combined organic fractions washed three times with water, then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Column chromatography (10-20% ethyl acetate/hexanes) provided the title compound as a pale yellow oil (428 mg, 50%).
