After the addition the mixture was heated for 2 hours at reflux, and then the supernatant LiAlH4 was decomposed with water while being cooled. The reaction mixture was then poured onto 20% hydrochloric acid and stirred until the inorganic salts dissolved. The product of formula (31) was extracted with diethyl ether; the combined organic phases were washed with water, dried with MgSO4 and concentrated.
