Procedure
A solution of the compound from Example 62 (1.4 g, 5.75 mmol) in 20 ml THF was added to a slurry of lithium aluminum hydride (1 g) in 30 ml THF. After stirring overnight, additional lithium aluminum hydride was added (1 g) and stirring continued 3 hours. Workup afforded the title compound as a white solid (1.1 g, 83%), mp 141°-143° C.
