Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

N,N-Dimethylformamide (2.0 mL) was added to sodium hydride (152 mg, 3.48 mmol) in an argon atmosphere. A solution of (1S,5R)-4,6-dioxo-3-[(1R)-1-phenylethyl]-3-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-1-ylcarboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.00 g, 2.91 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (8.0 mL) was added dropwise to this suspension under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes. Subsequently, methyl iodide (0.217 mL, 3.49 mmol) was added dropwise under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 hours. The reaction solution was ice-cooled and then the reaction was quenched with water, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. Then, the organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and filtered. Thereafter, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1→1:1) to give 0.79 g of the title compound as a pale yellow solid.
