Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of EXAMPLE 146B (0.60 g) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) was added to lithium diisopropylamide (2.0 M, 2.10 mL) at −78° C. After stirring for 30 minutes, 1-bromo-2-methoxyethane (0.64 g) was added and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with ether (75 mL), washed with water (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. Silica gel chromatography eluting with 1-20% ethyl acetate in hexanes provided the title compound.
