Procedure

A solution of TosMIC (15.7 g, 80.5 mmol) and 5 (14.6 g, 76.7 mmol) in a dry ether/DMSO (2:1) (154 mL) solution was added dropwise under argon to a stirred solution of NaH (2.39 g, 99.7 mmol) in ether (70 mL). The mixture started to reflux due to the exothermic reaction. After 3 h, water (200 mL) was carefully added to the mixture and the aqueous phase was extracted with ether and CH2Cl2. The combined organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4), concentrated, and chromatographed [silica, CH2Cl2/ethyl acetate (9:1)] to give a light brown solid (13.1 g, 74%): mp 154-155° C.; 1H NMR δ 1.25 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H), 2.36 (s, 3H), 4.22 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 6.75-6.77 (m, 1H), 7.16 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 2H), 7.38 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 2H), 7.46-7.48 (m, 1H), 8.38-8.54 (br, 1H); 13C NMR δ 14.5, 21.4, 59.8, 113.9, 118.3, 125.4, 126.8, 128.6, 129.4, 132.0, 136.3, 165.2; Anal. Calcd for C14H15NO2: C, 73.34; H, 6.59; N, 6.11. Found: C, 73.11; H, 6.59; N, 6.12.
