Reaction Steps

To a stirred 0° C. solution of N-((4aR,6R,7aS)-6-hydroxy-7a-(3′-methoxybiphenyl-3-yl)-4,4a,5,6,7,7a-hexahydrocyclopenta[d][1,3]thiazin-2-yl)benzamide (0.087 g, 0.190 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (0.6 mL) is added chloromethoxymethane (0.031 g, 0.379 mmol), followed by diisopropylethylamine (0.049 g, 0.379 mmol). The resulting mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour, and then is warmed to room temperature over 24 h. The mixture is diluted with dichloromethane, quenched by addition of saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, and is extracted three times with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers are washed with water and brine. The organic layer is dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product is purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with a linear gradient of 0% to 60% ethyl acetate in hexanes over 26 minutes to give the title compound (0.089, 93%). ES/MS m/e: 503 (M+1).
