Reaction Steps

To a solution of {(1-cyano-5-[6-methoxy-7-methyl-3-oxo-4-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxy)-1,3-dihydro-isobenzofuran-5-yl]-3-methyl-pent-3-enyl}-phosphonic acid diethyl ester (45 mg, 0.084 mmol) in THF (0.5 mL) was added sodium bis(trimethysilyl)amide (1.0 M, 1.13 mL, 1.15 mmol). After stirring for 20 minutes, iodomethane (52 μL, 0.84 mmol) was added dropwise and the resulting mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to dryness. The residue was purified by RP HPLC using a C18 column with a gradient of H2O, 0.1% TFA-acetonitrile, 0.1% TFA to afford 6.6 mg (23%) of the desired product. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 0.00 (s, 9H), 1.16 (dd, J=7, 8 Hz, 2H), 1.31 (t, 6H), 1.38 (d, 3H), 1.92 (s,3H), 2.17 (s, 3H), 2.23 (m, 1H), 2.65 (m, 1H), 3.30-3.42 (m, 2H), 3.73 (s, 3H), 4.14-4.27 (m, 6H), 5.08 (s, 2H), 5.28 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 1H) ppm; 31P (121.4 MHz, CDCl3) δ 22.26 ppm; MS (m/z) 574 [M+Na]+.
