Participants

Reaction Steps

A portion (70 mg) of the compound obtained in Example 81 was dissolved in anhydrous methylene chloride (15 ml) and to the solution were added triethylamine (69 μl) and benzoyl chloride (29 μl). The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. To the reaction mixture was added water, followed by extraction with methylene chloride. The organic layer was washed with 1N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, water and saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Then, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to yield 90 mg (91%) of the titled compound.
