Reaction Steps

A solution of Example 24E (0.37 g, 1.025 mmol), phthalimide (0.151 g, 1.025 mmol), and triphenyl phosphine (0.537 g, 2.05 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) was treated with diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (0.385 mL, 1.85 mmol) and the resulting solution was stirred at 25° C. for 3 hours. The reaction was concentrated under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator to provide 1.4 g of a yellow oil. The concentrate was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with a solvent gradient from 1% to 20% ethyl acetate in hexanes to provide 0.49 g (98%) of the title compound as a white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 7.76-7.98 (m, 4H) 7.51 (d, J=3.68 Hz, 1H) 7.38 (d, J=9.19 Hz, 2H) 7.14 (dd, J=3.68, 0.92 Hz, 1H) 7.01 (d, J=9.19 Hz, 2H) 5.60-5.77 (m, 1H) 4.55-4.70 (m, 1H) 1.88 (d, J=7.35 Hz, 3H) 1.27 (d, J=5.88 Hz, 6H); MS (ESI) m/z 492 (M+H)+.
