The solid was re-suspended in MeOH (5 ml), NaBH4 (65.1 mg, 1.72 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred for 1 hour. The solvent was removed, and the reaction mixture was redissolved in EtOAc (5 ml) and washed with water (2×4 ml), dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Crystallization from DCM/hexanes afforded a white solid as desired product (66.6 mg, 69% yield). MS +m/z: 338 (M+H)+
