Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the product from Step A (4.23 g, 27.2 mmol) in methylene chloride (40 mL) which had been degassed under nitrogen and cooled to 0° C. was added m-chloroperbenzoic acid (5.9 g, 24.1 mmol). After stirring for six hours the reaction mixture was filtered and the solvent removed. The residue was dissolved in dry THF (50 mL), cooled in an ice bath, and NaBH4 (1.7 g, 41 mmol) was added followed by allowing the reaction mixture to warm to room temperature with continued stirring for 18 hr. Water (25 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and after the pH was adjusted to 6.0 with 2N HCl it was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL). The combined extracts were dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to a residue which was purified by column chromatography (silica, hexane/ethyl acetate) to provide 1.31 g (25%) of product: mp 79°-81° C.
