Reaction Steps

A 0° C. solution of 7.33 g of product from Example 273 in 120 ml of 5:1 dry methylene chloride/N,N-dimethylformamide is treated with 5.29 g of imidazole and 16.77 g of t-butyl diphenylsilyl chloride. The reaction mixture is warmed to room temperature and stirred vigorously for 16 hours, diluted with diethyl ether and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated and purified by chromatography (Silica Gel: 0-50% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 15 g of the desired product.
