Reaction Steps

To a solution of the product of Example 9 (4.0 g, 8.0 mmol) stirring in 1,2-dichloroethane (50 mL) at 0° C. was added boron trichloride (10 mL, 117.0 mmol). The resulting dark purple solution was stirred at room temperature overnight in a sealed tube then cooled to 0° C. Methanol (50 mL) was carefully added dropwise over a 30 minute period (caution: gas evolution). The resulting solution was concentrated and dissolved in ethyl acetate. The organic extract was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, brine, dried (sodium sulfate), filtered, and concentrated. The resulting brown foam was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, methanol/chloroform gradient) to give 2.7 g (63%) of desired product as a white foam: 1H-NMR (300 MHz, DMSO) δ9.72 (br s, 1H), 7.62-7.80 (m, 2H), 7.22-7.50 (m, 6H), 7.10-7.22 (m, 2H), 7.00 (m, 1H), 6.80-6.90 (m, 2H), 6.78 (m, 1H), 4.23 (s, 2H), 3.85-4.10 (m, 2H), 2.50-2.75 (m, 2H), 2.25-2.50 (m, 4H), 1.25-1.56 (m, 6H); Anal. Calc'd. for: C, 82.35; H, 7.14; N, 3.20. Found: C, 82.17; H, 7.11; N, 3.35; MS (FD) m/e 437 (M+); IR (KBr) 2935.07, 2855.01, 1621.38, 1597.26 cm-1.
