Reaction Steps

To a solution 9.5 g (14.0 mmol) of the crude intermediate of step C in dry THF under nitrogen atmosphere at 0° C. was added 66 mL (33 mmol.) of a 0.5 M solution of Tebbe reagent in toluene. The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hr then carefully quenched by the dropwise addition of 7.5 mL water, then 7.5 mL of 5.0 N aq. NaOH. The resulting suspension was stirred at RT for 0.5 hr and the solids filtered. The resulting filtrate stirred with 5 mL of 5.0 N aq. NaOH for 16 hr and the solids filtered through filter aid. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum and the residue purified by column chromatography eluting with EtOAc/hexanes (1/3) to give the title compound. 1H-NMR (CDCl3): δ: 7.73 (1 H, s), 7.55 (2 H, s), 7.30-7.18 (2 H, m), 7.03 (2 H, m), 4.67 (1 H, s), 4.37 (1 H, s), 4.25 (1 H, m), 3.55-3.30 (3 H, m), 3.27-3.15 (2 H, m), 2.81 (1 H, t, J=12.7 Hz), 2.60 (1 H, m), 2.40-30 (2 H, m), 1.98 (1 H, m), 1.83 (1 H, m), 1.55, 1.47 (9 H, two singlets)
