Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the ester 14-1 (1.7 g, 5.5 mmol), 11.1 mL 1N LiOH and 11 mL MeOH was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The mixture was poured into water/EtOAc and acidified with 1N HCl to pH≈3. After extraction with EtOAc (2×), the organic layers were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to give 14-2 as a foam which was used as such in the next step.
