Reaction Steps

5-Hydroxymethyl-6-(2-methoxy-4-methoxymethoxyphenyl)-2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline (Reference Compound No. 1, 1.02 g, mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous methylene dichloride (10 mL), and then triethylamine (0.490 mL, 3.52 mmol) and methanesulfonyl chloride (231 L, mmol) were added successively. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. Chloroform (50 mL) and water (50 mL) were added to the reaction mixture and separated. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine (50 mL), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate) to give the titled reference compound (515 mg) as an orange amorphous product. (Yield 49%)
