To a solution of the compound of Step 5 in a 2:1 mixture of THF and methanol (0.1M) was added 1N aqueous LiOH (3 eq). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr, AcOH was added and the solvent was removed by evaporation. The residue was taken up in EtOAc/H2O and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was swished in 30% EtOAc in hexane, and the product was suspended in diethyl ether and sonicated for 45 min, filtered, and dried under high vacuum at 50° C. for 24 hr to give the title compound as a white solid. MS (−APCI) m/z 462.1 (M−H)−.
