Reaction Steps

A flame dried 2 L three necked round bottom flask purged with N2 was charged with LAH (2.32 g, 58.0 mmol) and dry THF (60 mL). The resulting suspension was cooled to 0° C. and a suspension of t-butyl ester 1 (10.0 g, 29.0 mmol) in dry THF (60 mL) was slowly added while keeping the internal reaction temperature under 5° C. Reaction stirred at 0° C. for 30 min followed by stirring at RT for 30 min. After the reaction was judged complete, the stirred reduction mixture was treated with successive dropwise addition of 2.3 mL H2O, 2.3 mL NaOH, and 7.2 mL H2O. Reaction mixture filtered through Celite, washed with ethyl acetate and methanol, and evaporated. Crude product absorbed onto silica gel and chromatographed using 97:3 CH2Cl2/MeOH to give 2 as an orange solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.40 (d, J=5.5 Hz, 1H), 8.05 (br s, 1H), 7.96 (d, J=2.75 Hz, 1H), 7.29 (d, J=2.75 Hz, 1H), 6.92 (d, J 9.35 Hz, 1H), 6.75 (m, 2H), 4.68 (s, 2H), 3.07 (d, J=5.23 Hz, 3H).
