Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of EXAMPLE 180B (2.2 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) was added sodium hydride (0.38 g). After stirring for 30 minutes, methyl iodide (0.60 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature, diluted with ether (100 mL) and washed with water (2×75 mL) and brine (75 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. Silica gel chromatography eluting with a gradient of 3% to 25% ethyl acetate/hexanes provided the title compound.
