Reaction Steps

Compound 5 (2.6 g, 10.3 mmol) was refluxed overnight under N2 in triethylphosphite (50 ml). Excess P(OEt)3 was evaporated and the resulting brown oil was column chromatographed (Al2O3, CH2Cl2/MeOH: 98/2). The yellow oil thus obtained was dissolved in a mixture of CH2Cl2/hexane (1/50 ml) and let stand in the freezer to afford after filtration 4 g (85%) of compound 6 as a slightly yellow crystalline solid.
