Reaction Steps

A mixture of 50 (19 mg, 22.6 μmol) and potassium carbonate (30 mg, 226 μmol) in DMF (2 mL) was heated to 70° C. for 2 h in a closed vial. LCMS indicated a complete conversion to a less polar product. The mixture was evaporated, and the residue was separated between water and DCM. The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and evaporated. The residue was purified by preparatory TLC, developed with 15% EtOAc in petroleum ether to give 51 (13 mg, 68% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.09-7.31 (m, 19H), 6.93-7.01 (m, 4H), 6.90 (s, 1H), 6.80-6.84 (m, 2H), 4.73-4.86 (m, 3H), 4.29-4.55 (m, 3H), 4.28 (d, J=10.8 Hz, 1H), 4.09 (d, J=15.0 Hz, 1H), 4.02 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 3.69-3.93 (m, 7H), 3.17-3.38 (m, 3H), 2.49-2.59 (m, 3H), 2.20 (d, J=15.6 Hz, 1H), 1.46 (s, 3H), 1.14 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 3H).
