Reaction Steps

(Ph3P)3RhCl (11.5 mg, 0.012 mmol) was added to a solution of 17 (25 mg, 0.13 mmol) in 0.400 mL ethanol. The reaction was stirred under 1 atm H2 balloon for 20 h and then was filtered through Celite. Evaporation to dryness and purification by flash chromatography on silica gel (30% ethyl acetate/hexanes) gave compound 18 (21 mg, 82%).
