Procedure

To a stirred Compound 62(850 mg, 3.66 mmol) was added PBr3(9.90 g, 36.6 mmol) with ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 6 h. The mixture was diluted with water with ice-cooling and extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined solution was washed with sat. NaHCO3 and brine, dried(MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give crude product as a yellow oil. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel with hexane-ethyl acetate(50:1-40:1) to give Compound 63(727 mg, 93%) as a yellow oil.
