Reaction Steps
DMAP (8.1 mg, 0.06 mmol) and succinic anhydride (67 mg, 0.67 mmol) were added to a stirred solution of derivative 16 (0.35 g, 0.67 mmol) in dry pyridine (5 mL) and the resulting mixture was stirred for 16 h at rt under argon. After that, myristoyl chloride (0.21 ml, 0.80 mmol) was added dropwise, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h at rt. After that, the resulting mixture was concentrated under the reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (30 mL) and washed successively with 1N HCl (2×15 mL), water (2×15 mL) and brine (15 mL). The organic phase was separated, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate-hexane gradient elution) to give compound 17 (0.43 g, 0.52 mmol) as white syrup in 79% yield.
