Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of diisopropylamine (170 μL, 1.21 mmol) under argon at −5° C. in THF (3 mL) was added n-butyllithium solution (483 μL, 2.5 M in hexanes, 1.21 mmol). After 15 min, the reaction mixture was cooled to −78° C. and a solution of Example 1 Part B compound (248 mg, 0.537 mmol) in THF (1 mL) was then added over 2 min. After an additional 15 min, DMPU was added (2 mL) and then methyl iodide (42 μL, 0.68 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h and then warmed to −40° C. After 14 h, the reaction was quenched with sodium hydroxide solution (1 M), warmed to room temperature and stirred for 1 h. The reaction mixture was acidified with 5% potassium hydrogen sulfate, extracted with CH2Cl2, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. Purification by reverse phase preparative HPLC (YMC S5 ODS 20×250 mm column, acetonitrile/water−0.1% TFA gradient) provided the title compound, a colorless oil, as a 1:1 mixture of diastereomers, 75 mg (31% yield). LC/MS gave the correct molecular ion [(M+H)+=447] for the desired compound.
