Reaction Steps

To a solution of 202 mg (0.56 mmol) of N-(5-tert-butyl-isoxazol-3-yl)-2-methyl-2-(tetrahydro-pyran-4-sulfonyl)-propionamide (prepared according to Method E) in anhydrous THF (10 mL) at −78° C. under nitrogen atmosphere were added 0.8 mL (1.4 mmol) of lithium diisopropylamide (1.8 M solution in THF/heptane/ethylbenzene) and the reaction was stirred at −78° C. for 0.5 h. Then 0.1 mL (1.6 mmol) of methyl iodide were added in one portion and stirring was continued for further 0.5 h at −78° C., before the reaction was warmed to room temperature. After 18 h at room temperature the reaction was quenched by the addition of saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution (25 mL). The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×25 mL). The organic extracts were combined, dried over Na2SO4 and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue purified by mass-triggered preparative LCMS to afford 31 mg of N-(5-tert-butyl-isoxazol-3-yl)-2-methyl-2-(4-methyl-tetrahydro-pyran-4-sulfonyl)-propionamide.
