Reaction Steps

To a mixture of compound 51, prepared according to Scheme 6, (0.25 g, 0.625 mmole) in toluene (5 mL), was added diphenylphosphorylazide (0.192 g, 0.70 mmole) and triethylamine (0.1 mL, 0.7 mmole). After stirring the mixture under argon at 95° C. for two hours an excess of anhydrous ethanol (2 mL) and triethylamine (0.1 mL) were added and the solution was stirred at 95° C. for an additional 5 hours. After cooling to room temperature the reaction mixture was partitioned between water and diethyl ether. The ether was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and removed in vacuo to give the product (compound 88) as a tan foam (300 mg, 99% yield).
