Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-{(1RS,2SR)-2-hydroxy-2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-1-[3-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)benzyl]ethyl}-6,7-dihydro-5H-benzo[a][7]annulene-1-carboxamide (400 mg, 0.755 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (15 ml) were added potassium carbonate (313 mg, 2.27 mmol) and methyl iodide (2 ml), and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction solution was diluted with water (100 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (100 ml×2). The extract was is washed successively with water and saturated brine, dried (anhydrous magnesium sulfate) and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1). Recrystallization from ethyl acetate-hexane gave the objective substance (115 mg, 28%).
