Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of compound 7 (18 g, 71.0 mmol) in MeOH (200 mL) was added K2CO3 (12.0 g, 85.0 mmol), followed by the dropwise addition of a solution of MeI (8.9 mL, 143 mmol) in MeOH (200 mL) at rt. The resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 2 h and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was treated with water (200 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (150 mL×3). The combined extracts were washed with brine (50 mL×2), dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and evaporated to afford product 8 (19.0 g, 100%) as a white solid. ESI MS m/z 267.2 (M+H)+.
