Reaction Steps

3-{4-[1-Ethyl-1-(4-methyl-thiophen-2-yl)-propyl]-2-methyl-phenoxymethyl}-pentan-3-ol, Example 51B (0.50 g, 1.34 mmol) is dissolved in THF (10 mL). The solution is cooled to 0° C., treated with nBuLi (1.6 M, 1.8 mL, 2.95 mmol). It is stirred at 0° C. for 20 min, and methyl chloroformate (113 μL, 1.47 mmol) is added. The reaction is stirred at 0° C. for 10 min and RT for 20 m before it is quenched with satd NH4Cl (5 mL). It is diluted with H2O (10 mL), treated with 0.1 M HCl (10 ml) and extracted with EtOAc (3×15 mL), dried and concentrated. The crude product is purified by chromatography to give the titled compound (0.24 g, 0.56 mmol, 41%). 1H NMR (CD3C3), δ 0.71 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 6H), 0.95 (t, J=7.9 Hz, 6H), 1.64-1.72 (m, 4H), 2.11 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 4H), 2.21 (s, 3H), 2.49 (s, 3H), 3.81 (s, 3H), 6.61 (s, 1H), 6.72 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.85-7.01 (m, 2H). LC/MS (m/z): calcd for C25H40NO4S (M+NH4)+: 450.3; found: 450.3.
