Reaction Steps

10% Cd/Pb couple (455 mg, 3.71 mmol, 26 eq) was added to a rapidly stirring mixture of 17 (190 mg, 0.14 mmol), THF (3.2 mL) and 1 N NH4OAc (3.2 mL). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 6.5 hours when TLC showed the incomplete consumption of the starting material and formation of side products. The solids were filtered and rinsed with H2O and MeOH. Excess solvent was removed and the residue was diluted with H2O (25 mL) and DCM (25 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (3×25 mL) and the organic extracts were combined, washed with brine (50 mL) and dried (MgSO4). Filtration and evaporation of solvent afforded the crude product which was purified by flash column chromatography (99:1 v/v CHCl3/MeOH then gradient to 98:2 v/v CHCl3/MeOH) to afford 18 as a yellow glass (38 mg, 36%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.85 (d, 2H, J=3.9 Hz, H11), 7.77-7.65 (m, 6H, Harom), 7.59-7.50 (m, 6H, H3 and Harom), 7.47 (s, 2H, H6), 7.44-7.33 (m, 4H, Harom), 6.82 (s, 2H, H9), 4.42-4.32 (m, 2H, H11a), 4.31-4.14 (m, 4H, OCH2CH2CH2O), 3.89 (s, 6H, OCH3×2), 3.69-3.56 (m, 2H, H1), 3.50-3.37 (m, 2H, H1), 2.45-2.29 (m, 2H, OCH2CH2CH2O).
