Reaction Steps

2-(2-Amino-6-methoxyphenyl)propan-2-ol (Intermediate 199, 500 mg, 2.76 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (10 mL) and triethylamine (0.770 ml, 5.52 mmol) was added. The solution was cooled to 0° C. and treated with acetyl chloride (0.2 ml, 2.76 mmol) in a drop wise fashion. At the end of the addition, complete conversion was reached. The mixture was treated with an aqueous saturated solution of NH4Cl, two phases were separated and the organic layer was washed with an aqueous saturated solution of NaHCO3 and brine, then dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to dryness. The crude was purified by re-slurry in tert-butyl methyl ether isolating 490 mg of the title compound as white solid.
