Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of compound 5 (200 mg, 0.40 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (10 mL) under inert atmosphere was added TFA (0.8 mL) at 0° C.; warmed to RT and stirred for 12 h. The reaction was monitored by TLC; after completion of the reaction, the volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with water (20 mL) and extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×30 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with water (15 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the crude. The crude was triturated with n-pentane (2×5 mL) to afford compound 6 (149 mg, 81%) as an off-white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 7.59-7.55 (m, 1H), 7.19-7.06 (m, 3H), 6.79-6.75 (m, 1H), 4.93 (s, 2H), 4.32 (q, 2H), 2.40 (s, 3H), 1.31 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H); LC-MS: 98.7%; 440.3 (M++1); (column: X Select CSH C-18, 50×3.0 mm, 3.5 μm); RT 2.90 min. 5 mM NH4OAc: ACN; 0.8 mL/min).
