Procedure
Sodium borohydride (0.6 g) was added to a solution of the product from step (ii) (2 g) in MeOH (30 ml) at 0-5° C. The mixture was warmed to rt, stirred for 3 h then the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between EtOAc and brine, the organics separated, dried and evaporated under reduced pressure to afford the subtitle compound, 1.78 g.
