Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of the product from example 38, step (v) (1.8 g) in ethanol (200 ml) and sodium bicarbonate (0.5 g) in water (15 ml) was heated until a complete solution formed. After cooling to room temperature methyl iodide (0.33 ml) was added and the whole stirred for 18 h. Another aliquot of methyl iodide was added (0.2 ml) followed by heating at 50° C. for 4 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and then partitioned between dichloromethane and brine. The organic phase was collected, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure to leave a beige foam. Purification was by chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate/methanol mixtures to give the subtitle product as colourless solid.
