Procedure

A mixture of EXAMPLE 405A (1.69 g), phosphorus pentachloride (2.03 g), and phosphoryl trichloride (0.97 mL) was heated at 90° C. for 3 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into ice, and extracted with ethyl acetate three times. The extract was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with 1:9 ethyl acetate\hexanes to give the title compound.
