Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of Intermediate 85b (6.39 g, 17.9 mmol) and sodium methoxide (580 mg, 10.8 mmol) in MeOH (100 mL) was stirred at RT for 18 h. The mixture was cooled to 0° C., then acetyl chloride (28.4 g, 359 mmol) added. This mixture was stirred at reflux for 1 h, then cooled and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was divided, applied to SCX-2 cartridges (3×70 g) and washed with MeOH. The product was eluted with 2M NH3 in MeOH; concentration in vacuo gave the title compound as a pale yellow oil (3.92 g, 87%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 1.62-1.86 (3H, m), 1.07-2.13 (1H, m), 2.48 (1H, br s), 2.93-3.11 (2H, m), 3.69-3.78 (4H, m), 4.53 (1H, d, J 12.9), 4.55 (1H, d, J 12.9), 7.21-7.37 (5H, m).
