Participants

Reaction Steps

The intermediate obtained in Step B (200 mg, 0.40 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous THF (5 mL), stirred under argon at room temperature and treated with 4-nitrothiophenol (118 mg, 0.6 mmol, 80% tech. grade) and N-methylmorpholine (0.2 mL, 1.8 mmol). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at reflux for 18 hr, then cooled to room temperature. The mixture was treated with tetrabutylammonium fluoride (0.8 mL, 0.8 mmol, 1.0M in THF) and allowed to stir at room temperature for 24 hr. The solvent was removed in vacuo, the residue dissolved in ethyl acetate (100 mL), washed with 1N HCl (50 mL), sat. NaHCO3 (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. Purification by chromatography through silica (step gradient 5-10% ethyl acetate/hexane) afforded the title compound as a lightly colored solid (130 mg, 0.28 mmol, 70%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.08 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2 H), 7.27 (m, 2 H), 7.13 (m, 4 H), 4.37 (d, J=5.5 Hz, 2 H), 3.91 (s, 2 H), 3.46 (sept, J=6.6 Hz, 1 H), 3.33 (sept, J=6.6 Hz, 1 H), 1.35 (d, J=6.6 Hz, 6 H), 1.34 (d, J=6.6 Hz, 6 H), 1.27 (t, J=5 Hz, 1 H). FAB-MS calcd for (C25H27FSN2O3) 454, found 455 (M+H). mp 178-180° C. Rf=0.3 (20% ethyl acetate/hexane).
