Methyl iodide → HCID 22327215, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Iodomethane (0.82 g) was added to a stirred solution of the product from Example 13 (Compound 1012) (1.93 g) and potassium tert-butoxide (0.61 g) in tetahydrofuran (50 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred for 48 hours. The solvent was evaporated and the residue partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous ammonium chloride. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with 3 portions of ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were dried, filtered and evaporated to give a residue which was purified by silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate/petrol) to give the title compound, m/z (EI) 380 (M+).
