Reaction Steps

To a solution of compound 76 (101 mg, 0.25 mmol) in 5 mL of dichloromethane was added triethylamine (105 μL, 0.75 mmol) and acetic anhydride (26.0 μL, 0.28 mmol). After being stirred at room temperature overnight, the reaction solution was diluted with 50 mL of dichloromethane, washed with water, collected the organic layer, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated and purified by silica column chromatography (33% dichloromethane in ethyl acetate) to afford 74 mg (88.6%) of the title compound 25a as a light-yellow solid.
