Participants

Reaction Steps

1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU, 16 μL, 0.11 mmol) was added to a solution of (4-{(R)-2-[(E)-4-(3-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-but-1-enyl]-6-oxo -piperidin-1-yl)-butoxy)-acetic acid (29 mg, 0.071 mmol) in acetone (0.5 mL). After 5 min, 2-iodopropane (35 μL, 0.35 mmol) was added. After 17 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, EtOAc (15 mL) was added and the resultant mixture was washed with 0.5 M aqueous HCl (5 mL), saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (5 mL) and brine (5 mL). The organic phase was then dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the residue by flash column chromatography on silica gel (CH2Cl2 →5% MeOH/CH2Cl2, gradient) afforded 16 mg (50%) of the title compound.
