Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 500 mg (1.14 mmol) of the compound of example 16, step 1, in THF (8 ml) was cooled to −78° C. with an acetone/dry ice bath. Within 10 min a solution of n-butyllithium (0.55 ml, 1.36 mmol, 2.5 M in hexane) was added followed by 0.36 ml (2.27 mmol) of 2-chloro-6-fluoro-benzyl bromide. The cooling bath was removed and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm up slowly to room temperature and stirred overnight. The mixture was quenched with water and extracted with EA. The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by preparative HPLC. The eluate was lyophilized overnight to give 216 mg of the title compound.
