Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 7 (0.15 g, 0.24 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (5 mL) at 0° C. was added CF3COOH (1.5 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. The reaction was allowed to come to rt and stirred at it for 1 h. It was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was quenched with NaHCO3 solution (3 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×25 mL). The combined EtOAc extract was washed with water (20 mL), brine (10 mL) and dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 8 (0.085 g, 86.7%) as a white solid.
