Reaction Steps

To a solution of the compound 50 in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) were added potassium carbonate (1.20 g) and ethane iodide (0.350 mL) at 0° C. and the solution was stirred at room temperature for 3 Hours. To the reaction solution was added an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution and the solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. The obtained residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1) to give the title compound (1.03 g) having the following physical data.
