Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of the product of Step 1, Example 8 (300.0 mg, 1.30 mmol) in methylene chloride (3.00 mL) is added to a mixture of triethylamine trishydrofluoride (0.531 mL, 3.26 mmol), triethylamine (0.273 mL, 1.96 mmol), and (Diethylamino)difluorosulfonium tetrafluoroborate (597 mg, 2.61 mmol) in methylene chloride (20.0 mL) at −78° C. The reaction mixture is slowly allowed to warm to 0° C. More (Diethylamino)difluorosulfonium tetrafluoroborate (100.0 mg, 0.437 mmol) is added and stirring continued at this temperature for 1 hour. The mixture is diluted with methylene chloride, washed with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated. The residue is purified by chromatography on silica gel eluting with a gradient of 0-30% ethyl acetate to afford the title compound (200 mg): MS (ESI+) m/z 232.1/234.1 [M+H].
