Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3.61 g of 7-(2-furoyl)-2-phenylthioheptanoic acid in 15 ml of DME is added 25 ml of water and 5.45 ml of 1.0 M aqueous sodium carbonate. The resulting solution is treated furing 1 min. with 0.41 g of sodium borohydride in small portions. The mixture is stirred at ambient temperature for 3.5 hours, diluted with ethyl acetate, cooled to 0°, and treated with 4 M hydrochloric acid. The ethyl acetate layer is washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to give an oil.
