Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl iodide (0.37 g) was added dropwise to the product of part (A) (0.75 g) and potassium carbonate (0.33 g) in acetonitrile (20 ml) and the reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was then evaporated to dryness and the residue taken up in methylene chloride, washed twice with aqueous sodium carbonate, twice with brine, then dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated to dryness. The resulting oil was purified by column chromatography on silica eluting with methylene chloride containing methanol (0% up to 2%). The product-containing fractions were combined and evaporated to dryness to give the title compound as an oil, yield 0.47 g.
