Reaction Steps

Lithium aluminium hydride (606 mg, 16.0 mmol) was added to tetrahydrofuran (25 ml) in several divided portions under ice-cooling, and thereto was added dropwise a solution of the compound (2) (3.43 g, 7.98 mmol) obtained above in tetrahydrofuran (15 ml). The mixture was heated under reflux for 3 hours, and thereto was added water (0.5 ml), 10% sodium hydroxide (0.5 ml) and water (1.0 ml) in that order under ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The inorganic substance was removed from the reaction mixture by filtration. The filtrate was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated to give a yellow-orange glassy substance, which was then purified by column chromatography on silica gel to give a yellow-orange solid. Yield 2.35 g (71%). The thus-obtained solid was recrystallized from ethyl acetate to give colorless needle-like crystals (Compound 14). Yield 987 mg (30%). m.p. 178°-179° C.
