Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid → 17-Ethyl-1-hydroxy-12-[2'-(4"-cinnamyloxy-3"-methoxycyclohexyl)-1'-methylvinyl]-23,25-dimethoxy-13,19,21,27-tetramethyl-11,28-dioxa-4-azatricycio[22.3.1.04,9]-octacos-18-ene-2,3,10,16-tetraone

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 17-ethyl-1-hydroxy-12-[2'-(4"-hydroxy-3"-methoxycyclohexyl)-1'-methylvinyl]-23,25-dimethoxy-13,19,21,27-tetramethyl-11,28-dioxa-4-azatricyclo[22.3.1.04,9 ]octacos-18-ene-2,3,10,16-tetraone (100 mg in 3 ml 33% methylene chloride in cyclohexane), cinnamyl trichloroacetimidate (54 μl neat) was added and the reagents allowed to mix for 5 minutes. Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (2 μl neat) was added slowly via syringe and the mixture stirred at room temperature. After 30 minutes the reaction was quenched by the addition of saturated sodium bicarbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×8 ml). The combined organics were washed with brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. Purification of the concentrate by preparative TLC on silica gel (ethyl acetate:hexane (1:2)+1% methanol) gave the title compound (45 mg).
