Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of the product of Step 2 (1.0 eq.) in THF, Cs2CO3 was added (1.2 eq.) followed by the addition of CH3I (2.0 eq.). The reaction was stirred at 40° C. until the starting material was consumed as determined by MS analysis. The reaction was concentrated and the residue taken up with EtOAc, washed with 1 N HCl, saturated solution of NaHCO3 and brine. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. Reaction crude showed 3.4:1 ratio N (desired product) versus O methylation. The title product was purified by flash column chromatography (EtOAc:Petroleum Ether=1:1) and obtained as a 1:1 mixture of rotamers by NMR.
