Reaction Steps

A solution of Example 62A (361 mg, 1.62 mmol) in THF (7 mL) and 1M LiOH (3.3 mL) was heated at 50° C. for 5 hours, treated with ethyl acetate and extracted with 10% NaHCO3 (3×). The extract was treated with 6M HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×40 mL). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated to provide 253.2 mg of the desired compound.
