Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7.35 g (27.1 mmol) of 2-(3-chlorophenyl)-1-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)ethanone (Example 63, Step A) and acrylic acid methyl ester (2.81 mL, 31.2 mmol) in DCM (60 mL) was added 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (4.05 mL, 27.1 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) slowly at 0° C. over 20 min. Then the reaction was allowed to warm to ambient temperature. After being stirred at 25° C. for two days, the reaction mixture was diluted with DCM and washed with 2N HCl, water and sat. aq. NaCl solution. The organic extract was dried over Na2SO4. The solution was filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude material as light yellow oil. The crude material was absorbed onto a plug of silica gel and purified by chromatography through a pre-packed silica gel column (220 g), eluting with a gradient of 0% to 30% EtOAc in hexane, to provided the title compound as a light-yellow oil.
