Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2 (2.82 g, 8.44 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (2.21 mL, 12.66 mmol) in anhydrous DMSO (22 mL) at room temperature under nitrogen was added (2-bromo-ethoxy)-tert-butyl-dimethylsilane (2.17 mL, 10.12 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 50-55° C. for 24 h, poured into water and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (AcOEt/CH2Cl2, 15/85, plus a few drops of NH4OH) to afford the title compound 3 (4.06 g, 8.24 mmol, 97% yield) as a dark orange oil.
