Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 266 mg of LAH in 10 mL of ether was stirred at 10° C. under N2. To this suspension was added 540 mg of the compound from step 457d dissolved in 10 mL of methylene chloride. The mixture was stirred under N2 for 1.5 hours. The reaction was quenched by the sequential dropwise addition of 0.3 mL water, 0.3 mL of 15% NaOH and 0.6 mL of water, then the mixture was stirred for 1 hour and filtered. The filtrate was dried and concentrated to give 389 mg of the title compound.
