Reaction Steps

Compound 96B (5.5 g, 10.14 mmol) in THF (100 mL) and methanol (20 mL) was treated NaBH4 (0.767 g, 20.28 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 1 hour. The solvents were removed under vacuum. The residue was re-dissolved in EtOAc and treated with water. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with additional EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography to give 5.13 g of the title compound 96C (93%): APCI (+)LC/MS: 545 (M+H)+.
