Reaction Steps

Benzylamine 16 (619 mg, 1.43 mmol) was added to a suspension of bromoalcohol 5 (500 mg, 1.43 mmol) and K2CO3 (495 mg, 3.58 mmol) methanol (10 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (5 mL). The suspension was stirred at ambient temperature for 15 h, then heated to 55° C. for 75 h. The solid was vacuum filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under vacuum. The resulting oil was subjected to column chromatography eluting with 5-50% ethyl acetate in hexanes to afford the desired product 17 (508 mg, 5%) as an off-white solid: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.45-1.62 (m, 4H), 2.54 (t, 2H), 2.65-2.71 (m, 1H), 3.14-3.23 (m, 3H), 3.58-3.74 (m, 1H), 3.88-4.09 (m, 3H), 4.71 (br, 2H), 5.04-5.21 (m, 4H), 6.79-7.25 (m, 6H), 7.34-7.52 (m, 16H), 7.65-7.87 (m, 1H), 8.32-8.49 (m, 1H); m/z, (ESI) 702 [C43H47N3O6+H]+.
