Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 7-methoxy-4a-methyl-3,4,4a,9a-tetrahydro-2Hbenzo[4,5]furo[2,3-c]pyridine-1-one (1.0 g, 4.30 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (3 mL) was slowly added 1.0 M of lithium tetrahydroaluminate in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL). After 30 min stirring another portion of 1.0 M of lithium tetrahydroaluminate in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL) was added and the reaction was stirred for 2 h. The reaction was transferred into ice, 6N aqueous HCl was added followed by ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was basified by adding NaOH and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvent was evaporated to provide a colorless oil. The product was used in the next reaction step without further purification.
