Procedure
A mixture of compound 11e (390 mg, 1.33 mmol) and LiOH (159 mg, 6.65 mmol) in THF/MeOH/H2O (4/4/4 mL) was stirred for 4 h. The reaction was concentrated under reduced pressure and then water was added to the residue. The aqueous mixture was acidified with 1N HCl to pH˜4. A white precipitate was filtered and washed with water and Et2O. The crude product was dried under vacuum to give compound 11f which was used without purification.
