Reaction Steps

To a solution of (±)-trans tert-butyl 8-ethyl-4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-6-methyl-5-oxo-3,3a,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]isoquinoline-2(9bH)-carboxylate, from Example 86, Part B, (24 mg, 0.064 mmol) in 1 mL of toluene was added phenol (9 mg, 0.096 mmol), triphenylphosphine (20 mg, 0.077 mmol) and diethylazodicarboxylate (0.035 mL, 0.077 mmol). The resulting mixture was allowed to stir at ambient temperature for 18 h. The reaction was diluted with 10 mL of 1 N HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organics were washed with sat'd aq NaHCO3 and brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered through a pad of silica gel and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (elution with 3:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) to afford 17 mg (59%) of the title compound as an oil. LRMS (ESI): 451.1 (M+H)+.
