Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound of step 1 (0.353 g, 1.26 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (1.5 ml), potassium tert-butoxide (151 mg, 1.32 mmol) was added, the mixture stirred at room temperature for 10 min, and then iodomethane (0.542 g, 3.78 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h and partitioned between EA and 2 N hydrochloric acid. The combined extracts were washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by preparative RP HPLC (water/ACN gradient) to yield 0.128 g of the title compound.
