Reaction Steps

A mixture of compound 22m (150 mg, 0.532 mmol) and CuI (60 mg, 0.32 mmol) in DMF (1.5 mL) was heated at 110° C. for 5 h and them cooled to room temperature. The reaction was quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 15% EtOAc/hexanes) to give compound 22n.
