Participants

Reaction Steps

158 (760 mg, 1 equivalent) was dissolved in 15 ml of acetone, then potassium carbonate (373 mg, 1.1 equivalent) and benzylbromide (1.1équivalent, 323 μl) were added successively. The reaction mixture was let overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture is concentrated and 50 ml of AcOEt are added. The organic phase are washed with 10% citric acid, saturated NaHCO3 and brine then dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (AcOEt/Hexane 2/8) to afford 159 as white solid (860 mg, 88%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 1.38 (t, 3H, J=7.4 Hz), 1.69 (s, 9H), 3.22 (m, 2H), 4.31 (q, 2H, J=7.4 Hz), 4.71 (s, 2H), 5.13 (m, 1H), 5.20 (s, 2H), 6.90 (d, 1H, J=7.1 Hz), 6.94 (s, 1H), 7.01 (d, 1H, J=8.2 Hz), 7.36 (t, 1H, J=7.7 Hz), 7.49 (m, 1H), 7.56 (m, 4H).
