Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of EXAMPLE 176B (0.295 g), methoxymethyl chloride (0.117 mL) and cesium carbonate (0.334 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (3 mL) was stirred at 60° C. for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The water layer was extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic extracts were washed with water (2×), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash chromotography (silica gel, 5%-20% ethyl acetate/hexanes) providing the product.
