Reaction Steps

A mixture of the methyl ether 61 (3 g, 9 mmol) and NaCN (3.5 g, 72 mmol) in DMSO was heated at 160° C. for 3 h. The mixture was cooled, diluted with water, acidified with concentrated HCl and then extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were basified with 1N NaOH and washed with EtOAc. The aqueous layer was acidified with concentrated HCl and then extracted with EtOAc. Drying with Na2SO4 and concentration in vacuo gave a residue was purified by crystallization from EtOAc/hexanes.
