反応手順

To a solution of 52a (1.1 g, crude compound) in ethanol (8 mL) was added potassium hydroxide (2.1 g, 12 mL) and heated to reflux for overnight. The solution was cooled to RT and the ethanol was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in water and washed with diethyl ether (10 mL). The aqueous layer was acidified with 2 N HCl and extracted with diethyl ether (3×50 mL). The organic extracts were washed with water (50 mL), brine (50 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to afford 0.85 g (77.3%) of crude biphenyl-3-thiol product (overall, 3 steps). Into a round-bottomed flask, stirred magnetically, were placed 0.1 g (1.04 mmol) of sodium tert-butoxide and 83 mg of copper iodide (0.43 mmol). After the reaction vessel was sealed, 0.13 g (0.71 mmol) of 4-methoxybenzenethiol and 0.19 g (0.65 mmol) of 5-iodo-1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene in 3.0 mL of toluene were injected through the septum. The reaction mixture was heated for overnight at 110° C. Purification was performed by flash chromatography, and an amorphous solid was obtained (40% yield). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.54-7.52 (m, 3H), 7.44-7.41 (m, 3H), 7.37-7.33 (m, 2H), 7.23 (s, br, 1H), 6.69 (s, 2H), 3.86 (s, 3H), 3.80 (s, 6H). MS (ESI) m/z 353.2 (M+H)+.
