Reaction Steps

(1RS,2SR,3RS)-3-(2-tert-butoxycarbonylmethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-5-(prop-1-yloxy)indane-2-carboxylic acid (100 mg, 0.18 mmol), triphenylphosphonyl azide (0.03 ml, 0.18 mmol), and triethylamine (73 mg, 0.72 mmol) were dissolved in dry benzene (4 ml) and heated at 40° C. for 2 h and at 75° C. for 2 h. The reaction mixture was then partitioned between 1 N HCl and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried (MgSO4 anhyd.), filtered and evaporated to give the corresponding isocianate as a colorless oil. After purification by column chromatography (silica gel, ethyl acetate/hexane 30:70), the isocianate (100 mg) thus obtained was dissolved in 1 M HC1 in dioxane (3 mL) and the mixture was heated at 80° C. overnight. The solvent was removed in vacuo, the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give a colorless oil that was purified by HPLC (1:1 CNCH3 :H2O (containig 0.1% TFA)) to produce the desired product (40 mg, 42%) as an off-white solid, m.p. 181-182° C. (dec).
