Reaction Steps

NaH (0.012 g, 0.51 mmol, 1.0 eq) was added portion wise to a solution of SN-38, (S)-4,11-diethyl-4,9-dihydroxy-1H-pyrano[3′,4′:6,7]indolizino[1,2-b]quinoline-3,14(4H,12H)-dione [4150] (0.20 g, 0.51 mmol, 1.0 eq) in DMF (2 ml) under N2 atmosphere at 0° C. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for an additional 30 min. To the reaction mixture, chloromethyl nicotinate [259] (0.087 g, 0.51 mmol, 1.0 eq) dissolved in DMF was added dropwise while maintaining the temperature at 0° C. The reaction was then allowed to come to RT and stirred overnight. The reaction mass was quenched with addition of water. The reaction mixture was extracted with DCM (2×100 ml). The organic layers were combined and washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated. The resultant crude product was purified on column chromatography (2% MeOH: DCM, silica gel 100-200 mesh) to yield a pale yellow solid, (S)-column chromatography (2% MeOH: DCM, silica gel 100-200 mesh) to yield a pale yellow solid, (S)-((4,11-diethyl-4-hydroxy-3,14-dioxo-3,4,12,14-tetrahydro-1H-pyrano[3′,4′:6,7]indolizino[1,2-b]quinolin-9-yl)oxy)methyl nicotinate [305] (0.036 g, 13%).
