Participants

Reaction Steps

3.55 ml (7.10 mmol) of a 2N solution of lithium diisopropylamide in tetrahydrofuran were introduced into 40 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran at −78° C., a solution of 3.00 g (5.93 mmol) of the compound from Example 35A in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added, and the mixture was stirred for 1 h. 1.01 g (7.11 mmol) of methyl iodide were added at −78° C., and the reaction mixture was warmed to RT. It was then diluted with dichloromethane, the phases were separated, and the organic phase was washed with 1N hydrochloric acid, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by preparative HPLC (RP18 column; mobile phase: acetonitrile/water gradient with addition of 0.1% formic acid) to result in 2.45 g (80% of theory) of the title compound as mixture of diastereomers.
