Participants

Reaction Steps

Intermediate 27(a) (3.6 g, 13.2 mmol) and a 5% aqueous KOH solution (90 mL, 80.0 mmol) were stirred in tetrahydrofuran (30 mL, 0.44 M) at 22° C. for 2 hours. The volatiles were removed in vacuo and treatment with strongly acidic Dowex-50™ (WX8-200), elution with ammonium hydroxide (1.0 N), and treatment with Amberlite™ CG-50 afforded Intermediate 27(b) (1.2 g) in 37% yield.
