Reaction Steps

A suspension of Intermediate 6 (0.660 g, 2.89 mmol) in phosphorus oxychloride (ALDRICH, 0.404 mL, 43.4 mmol) was heated under reflux for 2 h, the starting material dissolving during the process. The mixture was slowly added to a mixture of water and ice. The resulting solution was neutralized with solid Na2CO3 and extracted with DCM (25 mL). The aqueous layer was further extracted with DCM (2×5 mL) and the combined organic layers were washed with water (20 mL); then with brine (20 mL), and dried over MgSO4. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the crude product was purified (silica gel column, eluting with Hexane/EtOAc mixtures from 100:0 to 40:60%) to afford Intermediate 7 as a pale yellow solid.
