Reaction Steps

Intermediate #63 (400 mg, 0.989 mmol, 1 eq.) was treated with a 4 M solution of hydrochloric acid in dioxane (10 mL, 40 mmol, 40 eq.). After 1 hour, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was taken up in dichloromethane and washed with 1 M sodium hydroxide solution. The aqueous layer was back-extracted with dichloromethane and the combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to provide #64 (301 mg, quantitative) as a brown oil, which slowly began to solidify upon standing.
