Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of compound 64 (0.2 g, 0.698 mmol) in acetone (10 mL) was treated with iodomethane (0.26 mL, 4.189 mmol) at room temperature and the resulting solution was refluxed for over night (14 h). The reaction was brought to room temperature and solvent was evaporated. The crude was diluted with sat. NaHCO3 solution (10 mL) and compound was extracted into CH2Cl2 (2×20 mL). The combined CH2Cl2 layer was washed with brine (10 mL) and dried (Na2SO4). Solvent was evaporated and crude was purified by column chromatography (2 M NH3 in methanol: CH2Cl2, 5:95) to obtain compound 74 (0.04 g, 19%) as a solid. mp 260-162° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 2.29 (s, 3H), 2.33 (s, 3H), 2.50-2.59 (m, 4H), 3.06 (brs, 2H), 6.01 (s, 1H), 6.64 (brs, 1H), 7.22-7.30 (m, 3H), 10.91 (s, 1H); ESI-MS m/z (%): 301 (M+, 36), 285 (55), 258 (66), 242 (100).
