Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 406A (167 mg, 1.0 mmol), KCN (325.6 mg, 5.0 mmol) in anhydrous EtOH (20 ml) was added AcOH (85.9 μl, 1.5 mmol) followed by activated MnO2 (1.643 g, 20 mmol). The reaction was stirred overnight. After workup, the residue was purified by silica gel flash column chromatography to give 406B (162 mg, 77%) as a pinkish solid (25% EtOAc—hexanes).
