Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the product of example 22 step (iv) (0.68 g) in dry N,N-dimethylformamide (10 ml) was treated in one portion with sodium hydride (60% dispersion by wt, 0.086 g). After 1 hr iodomethane (0.13 ml) was added and the solution was stirred for 16 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (50 ml) and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 ml). The combined extracts were dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Purification was by chromatography eluting with 50-60% acetone in isohexane.
