Reaction Steps

To a suspension of sodium hydride (85 mg) in dimethylformamide (5 ml), a solution of 2-acetamido-2-(2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl)pentyl acetate (0.65 g) in dimethylformamide (5 ml) was added under ice-cooling and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for an hour. To the solution, a solution of heptyl bromide (0.42 g) in tetrahydrofuran (4 ml) was added. The mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 6 hours and left standing overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with an aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and a saturated brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure and the residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography (eluent; chloroform-methanol=12:1) to give the subject compound (0.36 g).
