Reaction Steps

9a was dissolved in a 4 M solution of HCl in dioxane (60 mL). The solution was stirred at room temperature for 3 h and the solvent was removed. The residue was taken up in 200 mL of DCM and 40 mL of toluene and cooled to 0° C. Isopropyl chloroformate (60 mL of a 1 M solution in toluene, 1.2 eq) and diisopropylethylamine (24 mL) were added. The mixture was stirred for 36 h, washed with 1 M HCl (3×100 mL), 100 mL of water and 100 mL of brine. The solvent was evaporated and the residue taken up in 50 mL of hexane, cooled at 0° C. and stirred for 2 h to give a precipitate which was filtered and washed with hexane. 2.89 g of 9b were obtained. The filtrate was concentrated and recrystallized with IPA. Some light yellow crystals were obtained, filtered and washed with IPA to give 3.38 g of 9b. The filtrate was concentrated and purified on silica gel (eluent: 20% ethyl acetate in hexane) to give 2.2 g of 9b. Total yield of 9b: 8.47 g (54%).
