Reaction Steps

To the title compound of step 1 (1.9 g, 7.36 mmol) in MeCN (30 mL) was added Me4NCl (1.6 g, 14.72 mmol) and POCl3 (6.8 g, 44.16 mmol). The mixture was heated at 80° C. for 6 h. After concentration under vacuum, the residue was subjected to EA extractive work up. Trituration with methanol (20 mL) gave the title compound (1 g, yield: 49.3%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 7.60 (s, 1H), 5.50 (s, 2H), 3.85 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 2H), 3.09 (s, 3H), 1.31-1.28 (m, 1H), 0.70-0.65 (m, 2H), 0.39-0.36 (m, 2H). LCMS: 277.1 (M+1)+
