Participants

Reaction Steps

The product of Example 70B (1.0202 g, 4.41 mmol) in pyridine (15 mL) was treated with acetyl chloride (0.35 mL, 4.92 mmol) dropwise. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (2% methanol/CH2Cl2) to provide the title compound as yellow oil (0.8100 g, 67%). MS (ESI+) m/z 274 (M+H)+; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 1.07 (t, J 7.1, 3H), 2.17 (s, 3H), 4.13 (m, 2H), 6.62 (s, 1H), 7.74 (m, 1H), 7.94 (d, J 7.1, 1H), 8.03 (d, J 6.1, 1H), 8.22 (d, J 7.6, 1H), 8.60 (d, J 5.7, 11H), 9.39 (s, 1H).
