Reaction Steps

A suspension of the product of Example 90B (0.500 g, 1.541 mmol) and 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl chloride (0.478 g, 1.849 mmol) in methylene chloride (10 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere was treated with pyridine (0.25 mL, 3.083 mmol), and the resulting solution stirred for 18 hours at room temperature. The reaction was diluted with methylene chloride (50 mL) and washed with 1N aqueous HCl (50 mL) then water (50 mL). The organic was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated by rotary evaporation. Purification by silica gel flash chromatography eluting with methylene chloride afforded the title compound as a bright yellow solid (0.842 g, quantitative). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-D6) δ ppm 1.23 (t, J=7.17 Hz, 3 H) 4.24 (q, J=7.23 Hz, 2 H) 4.35 (t, J=6.43 Hz, 1 H) 4.57 (d, J=6.25 Hz, 2 H) 7.29-7.50 (m, 4 H) 7.69 (s, 4 H) 7.77 (d, J=7.35 Hz, 2 H) 7.92 (d, J=7.35 Hz, 2 H) 8.11 (s, 1 H) 10.15 (s, 1 H); MS (ESI+) m/z 564 (M+NH4)+, 569 (M+Na)+.
