Reaction Steps

24 g of the product of Stage A were mixed in 150 ml of toluene and 1.85 g of toluenesulfonic acid were added. The mixture was refluxed for 20 hours. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure at 40° C. The residue was chromatographed on silica (eluent: 95/5 hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain 13.5 g of the expected product.
