Reaction Steps

0.288 g (3-methoxyphenyl)(2-(2,4,6-trimethoxybenzylthio)phenyl)methanol (K) (0.68 mmol) was treated with a solution of triethylsilane:TFA:DCM 0.3 ml:1 ml:10 ml. The mixture was stirred overnight at ambient temperature before the addition of water. The mixture was extracted with DCM, brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. Flash silica chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate 90:10) afforded 0.12 g product (0.52 mmol, 77% yield).
