Reaction Steps

A reaction mixture containing [(2R)-6-iodo-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromen-2-yl]methanol (Example 8, 5 g, 17.2 mmol, 1.0 eq), tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (20.6 mmol, 1.2 eq), and imidazole (43 mmol, 2.5 eq) in anhydrous DMF (35 mL) was stirred at 27° C. overnight. The resulting mixture was then cooled to room temperature, poured into water, and extracted with diethyl ether. The organic extract was washed with water, brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrated, and purified by medium pressure column chromatography (Biotage 40S normal phase silica gel column) providing the product in 79% yield; m/z=405 [MH=].
