Comments
Synthesis: During optimisation, the reaction type was also performed in DMSO and NMP, but acetonitrile was chosen as solvent, since it is easier to remove. In order to obtain complete conversion in acetonitrile, the highest possible temperature and prolonged reaction time is required.

Work-up: The solids were filtered off and washed with 6 mL acetonitrile. The solution was concentrated on rotavapor.

Purification: The crude material was purified by chromatography on Horizon HPFC System using a prepacked silica column cartridge, starting with heptane-ethyl acetate 3:1 and increasing the polarity of the eluent system to 2:1.

Characterisation: By 1H NMR

Instrument Settings
Absorption level: Normal
Pre-stirring time: 0s
