Reaction Steps

A suspension of the acid prepared in Example 21 (220.0 g, 0.94 mol), NaHCO3 (237.0 g, 2.82 mol), CH3I (200 g, 1.41 mol) in DMF (2.0 L) was stirred under argon at rt for 18 h. Adding additional CH3I (100 g, 0.71 mol) and stirring for an additional 24 h at rt caused completion of the reaction. The reaction mixture was poured into 4.0 L water, and extracted with EtOAc (2×2 L). The combined organic layers were sequentially washed with water (2×1 L), NaOH (1 L, 1 N aqueous solution), water (2×1 L), and brine (0.5 L). The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound (233 g, 99%) as a light yellow. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 6.90 (d, 1H), 6.78 (d, 1H), 6.66 (dd, 1H), 3.70 (s, 3H), 3.60 (s, 3H), 3.20 (m, 1H), 2.80 (m, 2H), 2.40 (m, 1H), 2.08 (m, 1H), 1.80 (m, 1H), 1.58 (m, 1H), 1.40 (m, 1H), 0.80 (t, 3H).
