Reaction Steps

To a solution of Intermediate 6B (0.388 g, 1.855 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) under argon was added 1-chloro-N,N,2-trimethylprop-1-en-1-amine (0.293 g, 2.192 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 20 min. A solution of Intermediate 102B (0.4204 g, 1.686 mmol) in DCM (1.000 mL) followed by pyridine (0.409 mL, 5.06 mmol) were added and the reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 2.5 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated to give a dark oil which was dissolved in EtOAc (15 mL) and washed with water (5 mL). The organic phase was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (80 g silica gel) to provide the desired product (0.650 g, 88%) as an orange oil. LCMS Anal.
