Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 23.1 g (112 mmol) 22a and 231 ml dimethylsulphoxid were added 10.0 g (123 mmol) dimethylamine hydrochloride and 32.4 g (234 mmol) potassium carbonate. The reaction mixture was stirred for 24 h at 60° C. in an autoclave and was reduced with high vacuum rotation evaporator at 65° C. The residue was diluted with dichloromethane, washed twice with water. The combined water phases were extracted with dichloromethane. The combined dichloromethane phases were washed with diluted sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, dried with sodium sulphate and concentrated. The oily crude was purified by column chromatography and the desired product 22b was obtained in 89.5% yield (23.1 g 100 mmol).
