Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (35.0 mg, 0.87 mmol) was added to tert-butyl 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxypropylcarbamate (Intermediate 30) (200 mg, 0.70 mmol) in THF (10 mL) at 0° C. under nitrogen. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 15 minutes. Methyl iodide (0.044 mL, 0.70 mmol) was added dropwise, and the resulting suspension was stirred at 22° C. for 4 hours. The reaction was quenched with KHSO4 solution (1M, 0.5 mL) and water (15 mL). The mixture was extracted with diethyl ether (3×20 mL); the combined extracts were washed with saturated brine (20 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to give crude product. The crude product was purified by flash silica chromatography, elution gradient 20 to 60% EtOAc in isohexane. Pure fractions were evaporated to dryness to afford tert-butyl 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methoxypropylcarbamate (80 mg, 38.1%) as a white solid.
