Reaction Steps

A suspension of acid prepared in Example 4 (220.0 g, 0.94 mol), NaHCO3 (237.0 g, 2.82 mol), CH3I (200 g, 1.41 mol) in 2.0 L DMF was stirred under Ar at rt for 18 hours. NMR analysis showed 95% reaction. Adding CH3I (100 g), and stirring for additional 24 hours at rt caused completion of the reaction. The reaction mixture was poured into 4.0 L water, and extracted with EtOAc (2×2 L). The organic layer was sequentially washed with water (2×1 L), 1 L of 1N NaOH solution, water (2×1 L), and 500 mL brine, and dried over Na2SO4. The product (233 g, 99%) was obtained as a light yellow oil after solvent removal and vacuum drying. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 6.90 (d, 1H), 6.78 (d, 1H), 6.66 (dd, 1H), 3.70 (s, 3H), 3.60 (s, 3H), 3.20 (m, 1H), 2.80 (m, 2H), 2.40 (m, 1H), 2.08 (m, 1H), 1.80 (m, 1H), 1.58 (m, 1H), 1.40 (m, 1H), 0.80 (t, 3H).
