Reaction Steps

To a solution of the title compound from Example 1 Step B (682 mg, 1.81 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) were added 4-bromobenzyl bromide (678 mg, 2.71 mmol) and cesium carbonate (1.77 g, 5.42 mmol). After 1.5 h, the reaction mixture was poured into sat. aq. NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase was separated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by flash chromatography on silica gel (0 to 25% EtOAc in hexanes, then 25 to 100% EtOAc in hexanes) provided the title compound: LCMS m/z 548.0 [M+H]+; 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.13 (s, 1H), 8.08 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.95 (dd, J=7.5, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 7.88 (t, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.54 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.48 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.39-7.36 (m, 1H), 7.23 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.12 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.03 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 5.10 (s, 2H), 4.39 (q, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 1.39 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H).
