Procedure

To a solution of thiophenol (4.44 mL; 43.4 mmol) in diethyl ether (29 mL) was added pyridine (17.2 mL; 0.21 mol), followed by the drop-wise addition of a solution of compound 563-B (7.18 g; 43.5 mmol) in diethyl ether (15 mL), at ambient temperature, and the reaction was stirred for 72 h. The reaction was diluted with EtOAc, washed with 2N HCl, H2O, brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography (SiO2) eluting with a heptane-EtOAc gradient to afford compound 563-C as an oil. 1H-NMR (CDCl3): δ 1.09-1.10 (d, 6H), 2.90-2.97 (m, 1H), 3.75 (s, 2H), 7.18-7.35 (m, 5H).
