Reaction Steps

To a solution of the ester (1a) (800 mg, 2.73 mmol) in water (15 ml) in a 20 ml microwave reaction vessel was added DIPEA (1.2 ml, 6.8 mmol) and a magnetic stirring bar. The reaction vessel was sealed and the immiscible slurry was shaken vigorously before insertion in the microwave cavity. After 1 min of pre-stirring, the reaction was irradiated for 40 min to a set temperature of 100° C. After cooling to 40° C., the transparent solution was concentrated in vacuo, and the residual brown oil co-evaporated 3 times with acetonitrile to remove any residual water. The crude title compound in the form of a DIPEA salt, was immediately taken forward to the next step. LC/MS (Method A): tR=1.29 min, >95%, m/z (ESI+)=312(MH+).
