Reaction Steps

Benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (40% in methanol, 0.031 mL) was added to a solution of (9-(4-(2-hydroxyethyl)phenethyl)-1-oxa-4,9-diazaspiro[5.5]undecan-4-yl)(2-isopropylthiazol-4-yl)methanone [Example 1, step c] (0.62 g) in toluene (20 mL). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue azeotroped with toluene. The resultant liquid, which was just mobile with traces of toluene, was treated dropwise with tert-butyl acrylate (0.225 g). The reaction mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 18 hours. The mixture was purified by flash silica chromatography using 2% methanol in dichloromethane with 1% triethylamine as solvent. Fractions containing the product were evaporated to dryness to afford the subtitled compound. Yield 0.550 g.
