Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of Intermediate 1 (0.70 g, 3.27 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was added Intermediate 12 (0.87 g, 3.60 mmol) dropwise. The reaction was allowed to stir for 1 h then cooled to −78° C. To the cooled solution was added 3M MeMgBr in Et2O (1.31 mL, 3.92 mmoL) and the reaction was let come to room temperature. The mixture was then quenched with 1N NaOH (50 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×30 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. Chromatography of the resulting residue (SiO2; MeOH (NH3):DCM) gave the title compound (770 mg, 54%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.43-8.34 (m, 1H), 7.92-7.73 (m, 2H), 7.70-7.33 (m, 4H), 6.08 (dtd, J=19.7, 11.7, 8.0 Hz, 3H), 1.54 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H). MS (ESI): mass calculated for C20H13ClF4N4O, 436.07. m/z found 437.1 [M+H]+.
