Procedure

6′-(3-Fluoropropoxy)spiro[cyclohexane-1,2′-indene]-1′,4(3′H)-dione (Intermediate 63, 3.14 g, 10.8 mmol) were dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) and MeOH (4.38 mL, 108 mmol). Borane-trimethylamine complex (1.74 g, 23.8 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred overnight. Citric acid monohydrate (31.8 g, 151 mmol) was added all at once and was followed by dropwise addition of water (3.90 mL, 216 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 3 h before being diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc (×2). The combined organic phases was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The product was purified using silica gel flash chromatography using a gradient of MeOH (0-10%) in DCM to give 1.94 (61% yield) of the title compound which was used in the next step without further purification: MS (ES+) m/z 307 [M+H]+.
