Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared according to the process illustrated in Scheme 19. Ethylene oxide was used as the alkylating agent. To a stirred solution of 4-Pentyl-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid [2-methyl-1-(3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-propyl-tetrahydro-pyran-2-yl)-propyl]-amide (example 103) (12.0 mg 0.029 mmol, 1 equiv) and TEA (100 μL) in MeOH (2 mL) at 0° C. was added condensed ethylene oxide (200 μL) was added and the reaction mixture stirred 48 h. The reaction mixture evaporated to dryness, and the resulting residue was purified by column chromatography on silica 20% 0.25M NH3 in MeOH/DCM to give the crude N alkylated product. The crude product was taken up in Et2O, filtered and the filtrate treated with 2M HCl in Et2O, the precipitated HCl salt was collected washed with Et2O and lyophilized to give the title compound as a colorless powder (4.4 mg 34%).
