Reaction Steps

Using Method C above, (R)-N-Boc-2,2-dimethyl-4-ethynyl-oxazolidine (141 mg, 0.62 mmol) (Example 91A above) was coupled with (Z)-1,3-dihydro-5-fluoro-4-iodo-3-[(3-methoxy-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene]-2H-indol-2-one (80 mg, 0.21 mmol) (Starting Material 6) using (Ph3P)4Pd (24 mg, 0.02 mmol) and a catalylic amount of CuI in a mixture of DMF (4 mL) and Et3N (4 mL) as solvent at 80° C. for 8.5 hrs. Upon completion, the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and extracted with H2O. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, concentrated and the residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column with a 0-50% THF in hexanes gradient. The intermediate that resulted from this operation was directly dissolved in 6 mL of a 50% trifluoroacetic acid in CH2Cl2 solution that contained 0.6 mL of H2O at 0° C. and stirred for 2 hrs. Upon completion, the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and extracted with ammonium hydroxide. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. (R)-(Z)-4-(3-Amino-4-hydroxy-1-butynyl)-1,3-dihydro-5-fluoro-3-[(3-methoxy-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene]-2H-indol-2-one was obtained after silica gel column chromatography with 0-20% MeOH in CH2Cl2 gradient and precipitation out of THF with excess pentane. (Yield 10 mg, 14%).
