Reaction Steps

The product from Example 52E (0.51 g, 2.0 mmol), tosyl chloride (0.68 g, 3.6 mmol), triethylamine (0.55 g, 5.4 mmol), and DMAP (25 mg, 0.2 mmol) were combined in dichloromethane (20 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. The mixture was treated with water (0.5 mL), stirred for 2 hours, and then treated with additional water (15 mL). The organic layer was separated, washed with aqueous sodium chloride solution (10 mL, 10%), evaporated in vacuo, and the residue was azeotroped with heptane (15 mL) to provide the title compound which was used in the next step without further purification.
