Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-{3-[(4-chlorophenyl)carbonyl]-1-(3,3-dimethylbutanoyl)-7-methoxyindolizin-2-yl}-2,2-dimethylpropanoate (310 mg, 0.605 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5.0 mL) is added aluminum chloride (363 mg, 2.72 mmol). The solution is stirred for 3 h at 23° C. then treated with ethanethiol (0.112 mL, 1.51 mmol) and allowed to stir for 18 h. The mixture is poured into cold 1M aqueous Rochelle's salt solution, extracted with CH2Cl2, washed with brine, dried with MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the crude by flash chromatography (SiO2, hexanes to 1:1 hexanes:EtOAc) gives ethyl 3-{3-[(4-chlorophenyl)carbonyl]-1-(3,3-dimethylbutanoyl)-7-hydroxyindolizin-2-yl}-2,2-dimethylpropanoate (32 mg, 10%).
