Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of benzyl 6-(2-{[3-(dimethylamino)benzyl]oxy}ethoxy)hexyl[(2R)-2-(2,2-dimethyl-4H-1,3-benzodioxin-6-yl)-2-hydroxyethyl]carbamate (571 mg) in DMF (9 ml) was treated with iodomethane (0.09 ml) and the mixture was stirred 20° for 16 h. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was purified by SPE (silica, 10 g). Elution with methanol—0.880 ammonia (19:1) gave the title compound (346 mg). LCMS RT=2.79 min.
