Reaction Steps

A mixture of intermediate 59 (2.0 g, 5.43 mmol), phenethylamine (2.04 mL, 16.3 mmol) and MeOH (0.5 mL) is heated at 100° C. for 2 days. The reaction mixture is cooled to RT, and is purified by chromatography on silica gel; gradient elution with heptane:EtOAc (75:25-60:40) gives 1.06 g of the product 93. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.40-7.30 (m, 4H), 7.30-7.10 (m, 2H), 7.10-6.90 (m, 8H), 6.80-6.65 (m, 2H), 5.45-5.25 (m, 2H), 3.90-3.60 (m, 2H), 3.05 (t, 2H), 1.13 (s, 9H); MS: m/z 442 (M++1).
