Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1.5 ml of 2N aqueous hydrochloric acid were added to 15 ml of a tetrahydrofuran solution containing 813 mg (1.30 mmol) of N-[2-t-butyl-5-(3-cyclohexyl-2-t-butyl-dimethylsilyloxypropyl)phenyl]-2-(9H-xanthen-9-yl)-acetamide (prepared by a procedure similar to that described in Preparation 11), and the mixture was stirred for 2.5 hours at 50° C. The reaction mixture was then allowed to return to room temperature. Addition of a mixture of ethyl acetate and water caused the title compound to be distributed between the organic solvent and water. The organic layer was separated and washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate, and then with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was subjected to column chromatography through 50 g of silica gel. Elution with mixtures of ethyl acetate and hexane ranging from 1:2 to 2:3 by volume afforded 650 mg (yield 98%) of the title compound as crystals, melting at 177°-178° C. (after recrystallization from diisopropyl ether).
