Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The product of Example 48A (3.21 g, 13.3 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (30 mL), cooled to −78° C. and treated with BBr3 (8.31 g, 3.26 mmol). The resulting dark red solution was stirred at 25° C. for 4 min, then cooled to −78° C. Methanol (100 mL) was added slowly. The solution was concentrated in vacuo. Toluene was added to the crude and concentrated again. After adding more toluene, the solution was washed with water and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in ether and extracted with NaOH (1.0 g) in water (8 mL). The aqueous layer was removed and stirred 15 minutes, then acidified with concentrated HCl. This mixture was extracted with toluene, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, concentrated in vacuo and the residue crystallized from ether and heptane (2:1) to provide the title compound (1.063 g, m.p. 122-125° C.).
