Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of compound 3-S (0.243 g, 1 mmol) and potassium carbonate (0.166 g, 1.2 mmol) in 20 ml acetone was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature, then methyl iodide (0.142 g, 0.062 ml, 1 mmol) was added dropwise at room temperature. After stirring for 8 hours, the reaction was filtered and the solvent evaporated to furnish a white solid that was used directly in the next step (0.2 g, 78% yield).
