Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of compound 4a (8.43 g, 32.8 mmol) in 130 mL of DMF was added a solution sodium methoxide (0.50 M, 32.8 mmol) in methanol (65.6 mL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes. Iodomethane (2.04 mL, 32.8 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 22 hours. The solvents were evaporated under reduced pressure and the remaining solid was dissolved in 500 mL of EtOAc and washed with 400 mL of a saturated solution of aqueous NaHCO3. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, concentrated under reduced pressure and precipitated from 50 mL of ethyl alcohol, to give 5a as a white solid (8.03 g, 90%). mp: 230° C.,
