The corresponding Example 13.29, Step E. The desired product was obtained in bromide was obtained in 4.85 g (84%). 1.36 g (97%, M*=314.1, M+2 =316.0). 0870 Step D 0876) Step G 0871) The bromo-alcohol from Step C above (4.84 g, 0877. The product from Step F (1.36 g, 4.33 mmol) was 12.86 mmol) was methylated using the procedure set forth converted to imine product (1.06 g, 55%, MH"=415.1) using in Preparative Example 13.29, Step E. The product was the procedure set forth in Preparative Example 13.29, Step obtained in 4.82 g (96%). F. US 2004/O147559 A1 Jul. 29, 2004 99

O878 Step H from Step B above (0.45 g, 1.56 mmol) in 2 mL of 0879 The imine product from Step G (1.06 g, 2.56 N,N'-dimethylforamide in a round bottom flask. The flask mmol) was converted to the desired hydroxy-amino was Sealed with a ground glass Stopper, and the mixture was thiophene compound (0.26 g., 43%) using the procedure set heated at 90-95 C. for 4 h. After cooled to room tempera forth in Preparative Example 13.29, Step G. ture, the mixture was poured into 20 mL of a 1.0 M NaOH aqueous solution, further rinsed with 20 mL of HO. The Preparative Example 13.34 aqueous mixture was washed with diethyl ether (30 mLx2), 0880) adjusted to PH-5 using a 0.5 M HCl acqueous solution, and

0881 Step A extracted with CHCl (50 mLx4). The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried (NaSO), and concentrated 0882 2-Chlorosulfonyl-3-methoxy-thiophene (3.8 g. to a dark yellow solution. This was dissolved in 50 mL of 17.87 mmol), the product from step A of Preparative ethyl acetate, washed with HO (30 mLx2) and brine (30 Example 13.29, was dissolved in 100 mL of CHCl and 20 mL), dried over NaSO. Evaporation of solvent gave 0.422 mL of pyridine. 3-Amino-5-methyl-isoxazole (3.5g, 35.68 g of the alcohol product (99%, MH"=275.0). mmol) was added.
