Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared according to General Method 16a using 4-hydroxy-6-[2-(2-hydroxymethyl-phenyl)-ethyl]-6-isopropyl-5,6-dihydro-pyran-2-one (Example E-34; 0.20 g, 0.73 mmol), toluene-4-thiosulfonic acid S-(3-tert-butyl-benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)ester (Example BB-8; 0.302 g, 0.803 mmol), potassium carbonate (0.11 g, 0.80 mmol), and DMF (2.0 mL). The product was purified via column chromatography (eluting with EtOAc) to the title compound, mp 92-94° C.
