Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the compound of Example 1 (3.0 g, 4.2 mmol) and butyl sulfide (18 mL) in acetonitrile (24 mL) at 0° C. was added benzoyl peroxide (2.0 g) in three portions over 3 hours, and the reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour and then at room temperature for 1 hour. Additional benzoyl peroxide (4.0 g) was added in two portions over 2 hours at room temperature. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with 10% Na2CO3 and brine. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. The concentrate was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with a gradient starting with 50% ethyl acetate in chloroform and ending with ethyl acetate to give the title compound (2.43 g, 68% yield).
