Reaction Steps

A solution of EXAMPLE 3A (869 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was chilled to −45° C. n-Butyllithium (2.3 M solution in hexanes, 2.10 mL) was added dropwise over 5 minutes. The reaction was stirred for 1.5 hours, during which time the temperature increased to −20° C. Iodomethane (0.305 mL) was added dropwise over 3 minutes. The reaction was stirred for 30 minutes between −20 and −15° C. Water (25 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×25 mL). The extracts were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated to provide the title compound.
