Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 5.3 (0.8800 g, 2.891 mmol) in DCM (15 mL) at 23° C. was added thionyl chloride (0.4218 mL, 5.783 mmol). The reaction mixture was then stirred overnight. The reaction was concentrated and then purified by combiflash (0 to 10% EtOAc/Hexanes) to provide 5.4 (0.7980 g, 85.50% yield).
