Reaction Steps

39-2 (318 mg, 1.43 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (5 mL) and then potassium carbonate (236 mg, 1.71 mmol) and methyl iodide (98 uL, 1.56 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, concentrated under vacuum and then water added. A solid was filtered to afford 39-3 (313 mg, 90%) as a light purple solid. LCMS: calc 326.2. found 327.1 [MH]+.
