Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(3-ethyl-5,5-dimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzo[c]thiophen-1-yl)-3-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethyl-phenyl)-propan-1-one (75 mg, 0.20 mmol) in isopropanol (4 mL) and 3 N aq. NaOH (1.7 mL) is treated with epichlorohydrine (75 mg, 0.60 mmol) and the mixture is stirred at rt for 1 h. The mixture is diluted with acetonitrile (1 mL) and separated by prep. HPLC (Phenomenex Aqua, 75×30 mm ID, 10 μm, 10-95% acetonitrile in water containing 0.5% formic acid) to give 3-(3,5-dimethyl-4-oxiranylmethoxy-phenyl)-1-(3-ethyl-5,5-dimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzo[c]thiophen-1-yl)-propan-1-one (50 mg) as a colourless resin; LC-MS: tR=1.21 min, [M+1]=427.41.
