The reaction was stirred for 3 hours. The crude reaction mixture was purified by preparative HPLC-MS (C18, eluting with a gradient of H2O/MeCN containing 0.15% NH4OH). The eluent containing the desired mass was evaporated using rotary evaporation to afford product (22 mg, 59%), which was used directly in Step 5. LCMS (M+H)+: 198.1.
