Reaction Steps
To a mixture of the silyl ether 13 (52 mg, 0.042 mmol) in THF (2 mL) and pyridine (2 mL) was added HF-pyridine complex (400 μL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h and was poured into saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The combined extracts were washed with water and brine and dried over sodium sulfate, before being filtered and concentrated. The resulting oil was purified via radial chromatography on a 1 plate eluting with 5% methanol in dichloromethane to give 36 mg (86%) of a solid residue: 1H NMR (CD3OD); δ1.55 (bs, 2H), 1.68 (m, 1H), 1.87 (m, 1H), 1.95 (s, 3H), 2.01 (m, 6H), 2.67 (oct, 2H, J=6.8 Hz), 3.30 (m, 1H), 3.50 (m, 3H), 3.65 (m, 1H), 3.69 (m, 3H), 3.82 (q, 1H, J=8.0 Hz), 4.01 (m, 1H), 4.23 (m, 1H, J=7.0 Hz), 4.25-4.40 (m, 2H), 4.47 (d, 1H, J=10.0 Hz), 5.0-5.15 (m, 3H), 5.19 (t, 1H, J=9.8 Hz), 5.28 (dd, 1H, J=6.0, 9.6 Hz), 5.39 (d, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 5.49 (m, 3H), 7.11 (m, 2H), 7.17-7.32 (m, 3H), 7.34 (t, 2H, J=7.4 Hz), 7.62 (d, 2H, J=7.6 Hz), 7.77 (d, 2H, J=7.6 Hz), 8.07 (s, 1H); LC-MS m/z (ES+), 927.87 (M+Na+)+, 9.79 min.
