Reaction Steps

N,N-Bis(butylsulfonyl)-2,2-diphenyl-1,3-benzodioxol-5-amine (Example 80, 79 mg, 0.15 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (4 ml). Tetrabutylammonium fluoride solution in tetrahydrofuran (1M, 0.16 mL, 0.16 mmol) was added dropwise at room temperature and the solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was heated to reflux for 30 minutes, poured into water and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography using dichloromethane as the eluant. Crystallization from hexane yielded the product as white crystals (45 mg, 74%).
