(3S,7S)-3-[4-(3,4-Dichloro-benzyloxy)-phenyl]-1-methyl-2-oxo-6-((R)-1-phenyl-propyl)-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-1H-4-oxa-1,6-diaza-anthracene-7-carboxylic acid (1R,2S,5R)-2-isopropyl-5-methyl-cyclohexyl ester (230 mg) was dissolved in 10 mL of dry DCM and cooled to 0° C. Boron trichloride (3 mL, 1M solution in hexanes) was added and the mixture stirred at 0° C. for 3 hours. Mixture was concentrated and treated with water/saturated sodium bicarbonate until pH 7. Aqueous mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate-THF (9-1) and organic layer combined. The combined organic layer were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to provide (3S,7S)-3-(4-Hydroxy-phenyl)-1-methyl-2-oxo-6-((R)-1-phenyl-propyl)-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-1H-4-oxa-1,6-diaza-anthracene-7-carboxylic acid (153 mg, LC/MS: m/z 474).
