Reaction was monitored by TLC (CH2Cl2/MeOH 95:5) and revealed total conversion to an intermediate. Complete evaporation of the solvent gave a white solid. The solid was dissolved in MeOH under argon and cooled down to 0° C., NaBH4 (2.05 eq.) was added portion-wise (exothermic reaction) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h at RT. Evaporation of MeOH, redissolution in CH2Cl2 and sequential washing with 1N NaHCO3 and brine, followed by purification by SiO2 gel chromatography (CH2Cl2/MeOH: 98/2) gave 71% yield of the tide compound.
