Reaction Steps

A solution of the product from Step 2 (120 g) in CH2Cl2 (1 L) was treated with DBU (81.6 g) and stirred for 1 h at r.t. The reaction mixture was then treated with 1M HCl (550 mL) and the organic phase was separated, washed with saturated NaHCO3 and dried over MgSO4. After concentration, the crude was swished from 20% EtOAc/hexanes (450 mL) to give the title compound as a white solid (108.4 g, m.p. 172.7° C.).
