Reaction Steps

A solution of pyridine hydrofluoride (4 g) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added dropwise to a solution of EXAMPLE 443A (1.7 g) in dichloromethane (20 mL) in a polyethylene bottle at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was carefully poured over a mixture of ice-water and Na2CO3 and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×300 mL). After washing with water and brine, the organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, and filtered. Concentration of the filtrate gave the crude product.
