Add 49 ml butyl lithium to cold reaction mixture and allow to warm to room temperature for 2 hours. After 2 hours, cool to -78° C. and then add 5.8 ml (0.114 mole) ethylene oxide in 20 ml THF. Allow to warm to room temperature. Monitor progress of reaction with thin-layer chromatography on silica gel (methylene chloride). After 18 hours, add 150 ml saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution and extract with 150 ml diethyl ether. Wash organic layer with 2×100 ml saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. Dry organic layer with magnesium sulfate and then filter, and evaporate solvent to obtain the title compound.
