Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2.8 g (73.96 mmol) of lithium aluminum hydride are initially charged in 250 ml of tert-butyl methyl ether, and a solution of 22.9 g (84.05 mmol) of the compound from Example 52A in 250 ml of tert-butyl methyl ether is added dropwise at RT. The mixture is stirred at 40° C. for 16 h. A further 0.7 g (18.44 mmol) of lithium aluminum hydride is then added and the reaction mixture is heated at reflux for 10 h. After cooling to RT 20 ml of water are added carefully. 20 ml of a 15% strength solution of potassium hydroxide in water are then added. The phases are separated, the organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent is removed on a rotary evaporator. The product obtained is used in the next reaction without further purification.
