Participants

Reaction Steps

The intermediate from step A (8.8 g, 37.6 mmol) was dissolved in toluene and to it was added PtO2 (0.5 g). The resulting mixture was stirred under hydrogen at atmospheric pressure overnight. The catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was removed under reduced pressure. Flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 5% and then 10% EtOAc in hexanes provided the title compound (8.6 g, 98%) as an oil. MS calculated (M+H)+ 237, found 237.
