Diethyl Ether → HCID 18948954, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of Example 32 (0.99 g, 2.75 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) was added methyl magnesium bromide (4.58 mL of a 3M solution in ether, 13.7 mmol). The solution was heated at reflux for 75 minutes, quenched with 5% aqueous potassium hydrogen sulfate and extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic phase was washed with brine, dried (magnesium sulfate) and evaporated. The residue was combined with the product of a previous reaction (0.55 mmol scale) to afford 1.26 g of off-white foamy solid. Chromatography on silica (flash; 75% ethyl acetate/hexanes) afforded 0.28 g (24%) of Example 35 as a white foamy solid (melting point 97°-101° C.) as well as 0.40 g of slightly less pure material.
