Reaction Steps

Silver(I) oxide (210 mg, 0.900 mmol) was added in one portion to a stirred solution of the alcohol of Example 135 (129 mg, 0.300 mmol) in ethyl iodide (1.75 ml) at room temperature under nitrogen. The reaction was heated at 40° C. for 1 day and then cooled to room temperature. The mixture was filtered and the residual solid was washed with dichloromethane (10 ml). The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with dichloromethane:methanol (99:1, by volume) to provide the title compound (60 mg) as a colourless oil.
