Reaction Steps

A solution containing the product from Example 46C (0.112 g, 0.413 mmol) in dichloromethane (3 mL) at 0° C. was treated with 6-methyl-2-pyridinemethanol (0.056 g, 0.454 mmol), triphenylphosphine (0.141 g, 0.537 mmol), followed by diethyl azodicarboxylate (0.084 mL, 0.537 mmol), stirred at 25° C. for 16 hours, treated with water (3 mL), stirred for 2 hours at 25° C., and partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The organic phase was washed with brine and dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with 0-30% ethyl acetate/dichloromethane to give the title compound (0.151 g, 97% yield).
