Procedure
A solution of the ketone, Compound 4, (512.2 g, 1.57 mol) in methanol (4.0 L) was split equally into two flasks. To each half of the ice-cold solution was added sodium borohydride (33.0 g, 0.87 mol) in batches (˜30 min). After the addition, the reaction solution was stirred at 0° C. (internal temperature 10-15° C.) for 50 min before it was quenched slowly with water (˜500 mL). The reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo to remove most of the organic solvent. The residue obtained from the two batches were combined, extracted with dichloromethane (2×), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The alcohol, Compound 5, was obtained as a yellow oil (510.4 g, quantitative), and was used in the next step without further purification: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.84-7.80 (m, 4H), 7.47-7.44 (m, 3H), 7.27-7.24 (m, 1H), 6.92-6.83 (m, 3H), 4.92 (dd, J=10.0, 4.0 Hz, 1H), 4.14 (br s, 1H), 3.81 (s, 3H), 3.74 (d, J=13.0 Hz, 1H), 3.53 (d, J=13.0 Hz, 1H), 2.68-2.60 (m, 2H), 2.36 (s, 3H); ESI MS m/z 322 [M+H]+.
