Methyl iodide → HCID 66862381, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium methoxide (0.22 ml, 0.876 mmol) (28% in methanol) was added to a solution of 100 mg (0.292 mmol) of the title compound produced in step (iv) of Reference Example 8 in methanol (1 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 min. Thereafter, 0.11 ml (1.75 mmol) of methyl iodide was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 hr. The reaction was stopped by adding a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, and the reaction solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine in that order, was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and was then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under the reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by preparative thin layer chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:4) to give 55 mg (yield 60%) of the title compound.
