Reaction Steps

A suspension of (2S)-2-[(1S)-5-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-yl]propanoic acid (Example 12) (6.45 g, 0.029 mol), sodium bicarbonate (7.380 g, 0.088 mol), and iodomethane (5.5 mL, 0.088 mol) in DMF (60 mL) was stirred at rt for a period of 17 h. The completion of the reaction was achieved by addition of an additional amount of iodomethane (0.93 mL, 0.015 mol) and stirring for another 3 h at rt. The reaction mixture was poured into water (200 mL) and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with NaOH (1 N aqueous solution), water and brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated to dryness under vacuum to give 5.70 g (84%) of the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 6.96 (d, 1H), 6.77 (d, 1H), 6.67 (dd, 1H), 3.70 (s, 3H), 3.63 (s, 3H), 3.38 (q, 1H), 2.78 (m, 3H), 2.08 (m, 1H), 1.78 (m, 1H); LC-MS RT=3.10 min; (M+H)+ 234.9.
