This reaction mixture was stirred 5 hrs at room temperature then the reaction mixture was cooled to −70° C. and a solution of ethyl iodide in dry THF was added dropwise and stirred at room temperature for over night. This reaction mixture was poured slowly into a cold 1N HCl (200 ml). Organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×500 ml). Organic layers mixed together and concentrated to dryness to get crude product. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography.
