Reaction Steps

3.3 eq. of dry DMF are placed in a three-necked flask and then, using a dropping funnel, 1.3 eq. of phosphorus oxychloride are added at 0° C. After returning to ambient temperature, the compound obtained in Step B (4 g: 20.59 mmol) is dissolved in 6.5 ml of DMF and then added to the previous solution. Heating is carried out for 2 hours at 110° C. After cooling, the mixture is hydrolysed with water and extracted with dichloromethane.
