Reaction Steps

To a vigorously stirred solution of Example 25 (3.9 g, 20.6 mmol) in pyridine (40 mL) was slowly added acetyl chloride (1.6 mL, 22.6 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for about 15 minutes and then the solvent was removed under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in acetone (38 mL) and water (12 mL) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (3.9 g, 20.6 mmol) was added. The mixture was heated to reflux for about 1 hour, cooled, and concentrated under vacuum. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel using hexane/ethyl acetate (1:1) as the mobile phase to provide the desired product. MS (ESI): m/z 188 (M−H)−.
