Reaction Steps
Dissolve methyl ether 40 (205 mg, 0.51 mmol) in THF (8 mL) and add 3M HCl (2 mL). Stir the reaction at room temperature overnight. Dilute the reaction with EtOAc and wash with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and brine. Extract the aqueous solutions with EtOAc (1×). Combine the organic solutions, dry (Na2SO4), filter and concentrate them in vacuo. Purify the product by flash chromatography (10 g SiO2, dry loading on 700 mg silica, 40 ml/min, 0-50% EtOAc/Hexane over 20 minutes and then 50% EtOAc/hexane for 13 minutes) to afford methyl ether 41 (125 mg, 0.4 mmol,78%) as a white solid. HRMS(ES+) calcd for C19H23NO4: 330.1705; found: 330.1695 (M+NH4); HPLC (Zorbax C18 column; 10 to 100% CH3CN/H2O for 10 min then 100% CH3CN for 5 min; 1 mL/min; tr 8.95 min). The enantiomers wre separated by preparative chiral chromatography, chiralpol AD, IPA/Heptane.
