Reaction Steps

To the phenol prepared in example 91 (608 mg, 1.5 mmol) in THF (20 mL) at 0° C. was addded sodium hydride (66 mg of a 60% dispersion in oil, 1.66 mmol). After ten minutes bromoacetonitrile (199 mg, 1.66 mmol) was added. The suspension was stirred at room temperature whereupon another portion of bromoacetonitrile (360 mg, 3 mmol) was added and stirring continued until the reaction was complete by TLC. Water (50 mL) was added to the reaction and the two layers separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with ether (2×40 mL) and the combined organic phases dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography eluting with 10% MeOH/CHCl3 to provide 350 mg (53%) of product. Anal. Calcd for C27H30N3O3: C, 67.56; H 6.30; N, 8.75. Found: C, 67.39; H, 6.51; N, 8.49.
