Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1aS,5aR)-1,1,2-trimethyl-1,1a,5,5a-tetrahydro-3-thia-cyclopropa[a]pentalene-4-carboxylic acid 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethyl-benzylamide (100 mg) (8.9 mg, 0.025 mmol) in isopropanol (1 mL) is added 2 N aq. NaOH (100 μL), NaI (1 mg, 0.007 mmol) and 2-bromo-ethanol (12.5 mg, 0.1 mmol). The reaction mixture is heated to 90° C. and shaken for 8 h before it is cooled to rt. Formic acid (0.2 mL) is added and the reaction mixture is separated by prep. HPLC to give (1aS,5aR)-1,1,2-trimethyl-1,1a,5,5a-tetrahydro-3-thia-cyclopropa[a]pentalene-4-carboxylic acid 4-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-3,5-dimethyl-benzylamide (5.4 mg) as a colourless lyophilisate. LC-MS: tR=1.00 min, [M+1]+=400.26.
