Reaction Steps

Diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (0.19 ml) was added to a solution of the product of example 2 part (iii) (250 mg), tert-butyl(R)-(+)-lactate (141 mg) and triphenylphosphine (252 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) at 0° C. After 20 minutes the ice bath was removed and the reaction stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was then adsorbed onto silica and purified using flash column chromatography (eluent 10% ethylacetate/hexane) to give the subtitle compound as an oil, yield 140 mg.
