Procedure

Starting ester, the compound of Step B 4.43 g (11.88 mmole), was dissolved in 83 ml tetrahydrofuran with stirring, under nitrogen. Solid lithium aluminum hydride (LAH), 450 mg (11.88 mmole), was cautiously added. There was much bubbling. The mixture was stirred 30 minutes and another 225 mg (5.94 mmole) lithium aluminum hydride was added and the reaction stirred under nitrogen overnight. Water (0.675 ml) was cautiously added followed by 0.675 ml 15% sodium hydroxide, followed by 2.0 ml water. The inorganics were filtered off and the filtrate was stripped, dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed once with 1 N hydrochloric acid, twice with brine, and stripped to give 3.61 g (92%) of product which was used without further purification.
