Procedure

To a suspension of NaH (1.756 g, 45.818 mmol, mineral oil 60%) in DMF (200 ml) cooled at 0° C., was added benzyl alcohol (4.542 g, 42 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred for 5 min. Then, intermediate compound D1 (10 g, 38.18 mmol) was added. The resulting reaction mixture was gradually warmed to r.t. and stirred for 1 h, then quenched with NH4Cl (aqueous sat. solution) and diluted with H2O. The resulting mixture was extracted with Et2O. The organic layer was separated, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel; DCM/7M solution of NH3 in MeOH up to 1% as eluent). The desired fractions were collected and concentrated in vacuo to yield intermediate compound D2 (9.2 g, 83%).
