Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[4-(dimethoxy-phosphoryl)-but-2-enyl]-6-(4-hydroxy-6-methoxy-7-methyl-3-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isobenzofuran-5-yl)-4-methyl-hex-4-enoic acid (25 mg, 0.052 mmol) in acetonitrile (2 mL) was added 2,6-lutidine (60 μL, 0.52 mmol) and TMSBr (67 μL, 0.52 mmol). The reaction was allowed to proceed for 45 minutes when it was completed as judged by LCMS. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and quenched with an aqueous NaOH solution (1 mL). The product was purified by RP HPLC (using a C18 column with a gradient of H2O, 0.1% TFA-acetonitrile, 0.1% TFA) to provide 14.2 mg (60%) of the product as a solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ 1.81 (s, 3H), 2.081-2.31 (m, 4H), 2.16 (s, 3H), 2.45 (d, 1H, J=22 Hz), 2.47 (d, 1H, J=22 Hz), 2.55-2.63 (m, 1H), 3.38 (d, 2H, J=7 Hz), 3.77 (s, 3H), 5.25 (s, 2H), 5.20-5.36 (m, 1H), 5.36-5.56 (m, 2H) ppm; 31P (121.4 MHz, CD3OD) δ 25.4 ppm; MS (m/z) 453 [M−H]−.
