Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Compound 2 ( 5.0 g, 10.06 mmol) was dissolved in 50 mL of anhydrous dichloromethane and cooled to 0° C. Triethylamine (1.82 mL, 13.1 mmol) was added, followed by p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (1.92 g, 10.06 mmol) as a solid, with stirring. The reaction was stored in the refrigerator overnight. TLC Analysis indicated the reaction was approximately 80% complete. An additional 0.5 equivalents of triethylamine and 0.5 equivalents of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride were added, and the reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was filtered through Celite and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography using 300 mL of silica gel (wet-packed onto column using 5% triethylamine in hexane) eluting with 25-50-75% ethyl acetate in hexane containing 5% triethylamine, and then ethyl acetate containing 5% triethylamine. 5.7 g (87%) of 3 was collected as an orange oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) d 7.75 (d, 2H), 7.44-7.12 (m, 11H), 6.78 (d, 4H), 4.12-4.09 (m, 2H), 3.73 (s, 6H), 3.66-3.54 (m, 13H), 3.22 (t, J=3.87 Hz, 2H), 2.41 (s, 3H).
