Reaction Steps

Under nitrogen atmosphere, 3-bromo-9-hydroxy-6,6-dimethyl-5,6-dihydro-benzo[b]carbazol-11-one (Compound JJ2, 356 mg, 1.00 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (317 mg, 1.2 eq.) were added with THF (3 ml), followed by dropwise addition of ((S)-2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxolan-4-yl)-methanol (148 μl, 1.2 eq.) and diisopropyl azodicarboxylic acid (252 μl, 1.3 eq.). The mixture was then stirred at 50° C. for 2 hr. After cooling, the reaction solution was added with ethyl acetate, washed with brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. After filtration and the concentration under reduced pressure, the resulting residues were purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/dichloromethane) to yield the solid, which was then washed with dichloromethane to obtain the title compound (white powder, 241.6 mg, 51%).
