Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of Example 311A (1.01 g, 3.99 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (32 mL) at −78° C. was treated with dropwise addition of sec-BuLi (1.4 M in hexane, 2.1 equivalents). The reaction was warmed to −20° C. and stirred for 30 minutes, treated with a solution of tosyl azide (1.1 equivalent) in tetrahydrofuran (7 mL) at −20° C., stirred at 25° C. for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with a gradient of 30% dichloromethane in hexane to 100% dichloromethane to give approximately a 2:1 mixture of starting material to the title compound.
