Reaction Steps

TFA (10 mL) was added to 40.4 (940 mg) in DCM (10 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. TFA and DCM were removed under vacuum, and the residue was treated with EtOH (50 mL). The insoluble solid was removed by filtration. To the filtrate was added concentrated sulfuric acid (2 drops). The mixture was stirred at 80° C. overnight. After concentration, the crude product was purified by flash chromatography to give 40.5 (410 mg). MS ESI (pos.) m/e: 262 (M+H). 1HNMR (CDCl3) δ 8.29 (d, 1H), 7.12 (d, 2H), 6.76 (d, 2H), 6.10 (d, 1H), 4.56 (t, 1H), 4.10 (q, 2H), 3.27 (dd, 1H), 2.97 (dd, 1H), 1.19 (t, 3H). The racemic compound 40.5 was separated into two enantiomers 40.6 and 40.7 using chiral preparative AD-H column (8% IPA/92% hexanes). The stereochemistry of 40.6 and 40.7 was assigned arbitrarily.
