Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 9.12 g (38 mmol) of the material from Step B in 100 mL of N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) was added 3.1 mL (50 mmol) of iodomethane and 3.7 g (50 mmol) of lithium carbonate. The reaction mixture was heated at 60° C. for 3 hours. After cooling the reaction mixture was partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The organic layer was dried (sodium sulfate) and the solvent was removed with a rotary evaporator and then a vacuum pump. The residue was purified by MPLC with a gradient of 20-30% ethyl acetate in hexanes as eluant to afford 7.58 g of the title compound as an off-white solid.
