Reaction Steps

To a solution of the product of Example 5D (528 mg, 1.09 mmol) dissolved in anhydrous THF (11 mL) was added a solution of TBAF (1.0 M solution in THF, 1.65 mL, 1.65 mmol) dropwise. After completion of addition the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and then quenched with water. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). All combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to provide an oil. The crude material was purified using silica gel chromatography (4:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate) to provide the desired product (311 mg, 0.850 mmol) in 78% yield. 1H (CDCl3, 600 MHz): δ 7.70 (1H, s), 7.38 (4H, m), 5.30 (2H, s), 4.56 (2H, s), 3.76 (2H, t, J=4.9 Hz), 3.60 (2H, t, J=4.8 Hz), 2.00 (1H, br s), 1.61 (9H, br s); 13C (CDCl3159.0, 153.6, 150 MHz): δ 138.8, 134.4, 128.2, 127.2, 125.1, 118.3, 72.8, 71.6, 71.6, 66.4, 61.9, 27.8; HRMS calcd for C18H23ClN2O4: 367.141911, found 367.1419.
